Dear Coach,
I often hear my colleagues talk about their mentor or their sponsor. The ability to have someone help me progress in my career sounds wonderful but I have never felt brave enough to ask anyone to play that role for me. How do you find a mentor?
I would love your advice!
Ask any senior successful individual in the corporate sector and they will tell you that a mentor, a sponsor, or a coach has, at a point in time in their career, contributed to their success. Some share the story of a lifelong sponsor who was critical at each significant milestone. Others will recall that one mentoring conversation was the catalyst for a turning point.
