One of the best things I did for my career was defining what mentors I need, want and have. From this came my “4 Mentor Method” that’s been featured in Forbes, Inc Magazine and of course on LinkedIn. In this mini-workshop, I break down what a mentor actually is, how to find mentors for each category, and most importantly how to utilize their knowledge and your relationship as you learn and grow in your career. I share the biggest mistake I see when it comes to mentorship (hint: what’s the difference between a mentor and an advocate?) and share a handy dandy list to help you brainstorm names for each of the 4 types. You can see all written notes here on my website if you’re more of a visual person like me.
