S2E13 - How to Learn from Mentors Instead of Mistakes

"The best mentors know this: Instead of giving answers, they ask better questions. Instead of speaking in absolutes, they offer points of view. Instead of giving direct advice, they share their first hand experience." Jayson Gaignard Click to Tweet

Looking backwards on my career, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be where I am without the guidance of a few great mentors that took me under their wing. I have learned that you're never too old to have a mentor, you'll need different mentors at different stages in your life and career, and no one person will take you from good to great and excellent to exceptional, so approach it with the goal of creating a network of mentors instead of looking for the whole package.

Why the wisest investment is wisdom, how to make the most of a mentoring relationship regardless of which side of the equation you might fall, myths of mentorship that we tend to take as truths, and the 4 stages of mentoring, and so much more in this episode of Community Made!
