Understanding Mentorship

A mentor is typically someone who has substantial experience in your field or in leadership roles and is willing to share their knowledge to guide your professional development. This relationship is less about direct management and more about advice, support, and opening doors to new opportunities and networks.
Finding the Right Mentor

Finding the right mentor involves several strategic steps, and I’ve included examples from various industries:
  1. Identify What You Need: Say you are in Financial Services. Reflecting on your career goals might include advancing to a senior management position, increasing your understanding of financial regulations, or becoming competent in financial technology. For example, if your aim is to excel in risk management, look for a mentor who has successfully navigated this area. They could provide insights into effective techniques or help you understand complex regulatory environments.
  2. Utilize Your Network: If you’re in healthcare, you might start by evaluating your existing contacts within the healthcare sector. This might include senior colleagues at your hospital or clinic, professionals you've met at medical conferences, or healthcare leaders you follow on social media platforms. LinkedIn is especially useful for connecting; consider joining groups that focus on your specific areas of interest in healthcare, such as Healthcare Innovation Leaders or Public Health Professionals. Also consider attending networking events and seminars hosted by professional associations like the American Medical Association (AMA) or the American Public Health Association (APHA), or others. These organizations can open doors to potential mentorships with seasoned experts in your field.
  3. Be Specific and Genuine When Reaching Out: You might be in Commercial Real Estate, so when initiating contact with a potential mentor being clear and genuine. For example, if you are approaching a seasoned professional who has a strong background in urban development projects, you might say, “I’ve been following your successful redevelopment projects in downtown areas, particularly how you've managed to blend commercial utility with community value. Could we discuss how I might develop similar project management and strategic planning skills?” This specific and respectful approach demonstrates that you have done your homework and are genuinely interested in learning from their experiences.
  4. Consider Multiple Mentors: In the complex landscape of leadership, one mentor may not be able to address all the areas where you seek growth. Perhaps you are a woman in leadership, and you might benefit from having one mentor to help you navigate organizational dynamics and another to refine your negotiation skills. For instance, a seasoned executive could offer you strategic insights into effective decision-making within corporate structures, while a mentor with a strong background in HR could guide you in cultivating inclusive leadership and team-building skills. This diversified mentorship approach allows you to develop a well-rounded skill set tailored to overcome specific challenges faced by women in leadership roles.
Start today by making a list of potential mentors within your network. Identify one action you can take this week to connect with them—perhaps sending a personalized LinkedIn message or asking for a brief virtual coffee discussion to learn more about their career path.
The best part is a mentor is a potential resource who can be there for you throughout your career as long as you take the time to build the relationship.
