Jeannette discusses the importance of having a mentor to scale up one's career, business, and life. Drawing from personal experience as both a mentee and a mentor, she shares ten invaluable tips on finding the perfect mentor, including committing to the mentorship journey, identifying the desired experience and values in a mentor, conducting thorough due diligence, arranging face-to-face meetings, and speaking directly to the mentor's previous mentees.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Before seeking a mentor, make sure you are fully committed and ready to invest the necessary time, finances, and emotional energy into the mentorship.
When looking for a mentor, consider their experience in your specific industry or sector, as well as their values, behaviours, and style to ensure a good fit.
Conduct thorough due diligence on potential mentors, including checking their social media presence, conducting online searches, and speaking to their current or past mentees.
Once you have identified potential mentors, arrange face-to-face meetings to get to know them better and ask about the results they have achieved for their mentees. Additionally, speak directly to their mentees to gain insights into their mentoring style and effectiveness.
BEST MOMENTS
"I'm a massive believer in mentors, in coaches. I have had mentors and coaches throughout my entire career, always at pivotal moments where I have either had a promotion, I've been setting up a business or I have been, you know, kind of shifting from one world to the next."
"I'm a big believer in you have to have direct experience before you can talk on any topic."
"The trust in the relationship between a mentor and a mentee is paramount."
"We only have one life, make it count."
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
