From Me to You (and to Me, Too): Get That Guidance

It’s easy to give advice. I think I find it easy to take advice too.

But for me to heed the words that I say to others? Not so easy.

So this one is for both of us.

Mentorship can transform your career, yet so many people hesitate to seek it out—often because they don’t know where to start or feel unsure about asking for help. Did you know that while 76% of professionals believe having a mentor is essential, only about a third actually have one? 🤔

A mentor isn’t just someone who offers career advice—they bring fresh perspectives, open doors to new opportunities, and help you build the confidence to take bold steps forward. 💡 But finding a mentor can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re worried about being rejected, or you’re not sure how to approach someone.

The good news? It’s easier than you think! First, reflect on what skills you want to develop or which career paths you’re curious about. Then, seek out someone whose expertise and values resonate with your goals. Most experienced professionals are more than happy to lend a hand to help others grow! 🌱

So reach out to someone who you want to help you.

You can do it. You’ll be glad you did.

(And so will I!)
