1 Benefits of mentorship

Mentorship can be an invaluable tool for developing your leadership skills, as it can expand your network and give you exposure to different perspectives and opportunities. You can also enhance your communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills by learning from someone who has more experience and expertise. Mentorship can also boost your confidence, motivation, and resilience by providing constructive criticism, encouragement, and recognition. Furthermore, it can help you clarify your vision, values, and goals by having a sounding board and a role model who can challenge and inspire you. Finally, mentorship can accelerate your learning and growth by granting access to valuable resources, insights, and advice that can help you overcome challenges and seize opportunities.

Mentorship is such a useful, engaging, fun way to make some serious strides. It is a great way to hone and finely tune so many skills as well as develop the confidence to take yourself further. Mentorship affords a nudge in the right direction, such a valuable skill to pin down and develop for your own progress and development. It also allows for imparting tailored knowledge sets where appropriate. The opportunity to throw ideas around while developing is invaluable!

The best mentors act as both advisors and ambassadors. They help you hone your craft, build your confidence, check your blind spots, and speak your name in (or bring you into!) rooms where your talents are most needed. They envision your leadership potential and empower you to embody it.

2 Finding a mentor

Finding a mentor who can help you develop your leadership skills requires some research, reflection, and outreach. To start, focus on identifying your leadership strengths and areas for improvement, and define your specific goals and expectations for the mentorship. Then, look for potential mentors within and outside your organization, industry, or field who have the skills, experience, and qualities you admire and aspire to. Reach out to them in a respectful and polite manner, introducing yourself and expressing why you think they would be a good fit for you. Ask if they are willing and available to be your mentor, proposing a mutually convenient time and format for the mentorship. Remember to be flexible, respectful, and grateful for their time and attention.

Remembering to be respectful of and grateful for your (prospective) mentor's time and attention is also a good way of showcasing that you are excellent mentee material. Pairing with someone you are comfortable with, possesses the skill areas you seek to grow into and is engaged is what you are looking for and is the edge where you will benefit from your mentorship most.

3 Working with a mentor

Mentorship is a great way to learn from someone who has been in your shoes and can help you reach your goals faster and better. To make the most of your mentorship, it's important to establish clear and realistic goals, expectations, and boundaries for the mentorship, and communicate them openly and regularly with your mentor. Additionally, you should prepare for each session by doing your homework, setting an agenda, and bringing relevant questions, challenges, or achievements to discuss. Make sure to listen actively, respectfully, and attentively to your mentor's feedback, suggestions, and stories, and ask for clarification or examples if needed. Apply what you learn from your mentor to your own work and situations, track your progress and results, share successes and challenges with them, seek their input on how to improve or celebrate. Show appreciation and gratitude for their support and guidance by giving them feedback on how they are helping you. Recognize their achievements and contributions, and offer to help them in any way you can.

Working with a mentor is such a wonderful time. Making the most of it is so important!! Set short, mid and long term goals; achievable and actionable. Recognizing both your input and your mentor's is part of the process, getting involved with their work as well as your own enhances the experience as well as flexing your style muscle.
