Take a minute to think about the best mentor you’ve ever had yourself. And if you didn’t have an official mentor, you could have had someone that was an excellent advisor at some point in your career. Someone that guided you, helped you or gave you just a push the moment you needed it most. It can be someone at work, but it could also be someone back at times you were a student.
- Do you have someone in mind?
- What made this person such a special mentor?
- What was the example this person set?
- What does it mean for the mentor you want to be yourself?
