I am surprised by how many people still question why they need a mentor. This is a MUST have in today's world. A mentor can assist with offering advice during good and tough times, they can be a coach to assist when transitioning to a new position, and most importantly a mentor doesn't just have to be one person.
In my career I have had a number of mentors and coaches. Some who are still with me today and some who have served a purpose. A mentor is someone you can identify with, respect, and most importantly provide candid feedback for your growth. Looking back I feel honored to have had the men and women in my life who have helped me in unselfish ways.
I have also had a number of opportunities to formally and informally mentor others. This is my way of giving back. Appreciating what someone has done for me and paying it forward. These relationships are reciprocal and when both people are committed, both will learn and grow from this. I have been able to learn and grow in ways that would not have been possible without my tribe of people.
