Face Front! Friday!

Was it difficult to reach your mentor?

I was speaking with a new colleague today, talking about our experiences as mentors and as protégés.

I’ve long held my dissertation chair from the University of Michigan in the highest esteem, in awe of his talents and skills as a researcher, teacher, and advisor.

But here’s the thing. His wisdom, his advice was UP HERE.

And my ability to understand, to follow his advice, was…

down here.

The fruit from the tree was so sweet but too often, I just couldn’t reach it.

If you are a mentor, make sure your protégé can reach what you share with them.

If you are the mentee, let your mentor know if you need a little help.

What do you think?

See you Monday.
