If you're a creative, solopreneur or dreamer of big dreams it's not uncommon to feel lost in the forest from time to time as you forge your path. Sometimes you don't know where to begin or what the next best steps are, regardless if you are beginning your career, changing careers or happily growing in your current career. That's why everyone needs a MENTOR - whether virtual or in real life - and my guest for this episode of Camera Ready & Abel literally wrote the book on mentoring, Leave Your Mark.
ALIZA LICHT is a legendary fashion executive and the Founder & President of LEAVE YOUR MARK LLC; a multi-media brand focused on career development and personal branding. LEAVE YOUR MARK currently includes a best-selling book, podcast, community, and live mentorship events. Drawing invaluable lessons from her experience as a top fashion publicist, Aliza shares advice, inspiration, and a healthy dose of real talk in LEAVE YOUR MARK.
Immediate takeaway from this episode: Aliza advises you to approach a potential mentor with not just your ‘asks’ but your ‘gives.’ What do you have to offer to the relationship? Here’s the thing- you have A LOT to offer, so identify something you can provide in exchange for some for this person's time.
