There’s an interesting note on Mentorship, here.
But, before we go there, let us listen to somebody else.
But, no, he is not a wise person. It is a lady!
Sheryl Sandberg. Long-time COO of Facebook!
In her book, “Lean In”, she gives good advice, that we had visited long ago in Quotidian 379!
Here is one advice we missed covering in that episode dated 9th March 2022!
Sheryl says, one needs to EARN THE CONNECTION.
She says, the mentorship connection should be felt by both sides, as mutually beneficial.
Instead of seeking out a mentor with the expectation that you will excel because of them,
She advises excelling in your work to naturally attract mentors!
You are not seeking help! You are demonstrating why you are worth the investment!
