Happy International Mentoring Day!
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou
I've been so lucky in my professional life to have had 4 amazing mentors.....
Mentor no 1 - helped me in a really difficult period after returning from maternity leave no 2, she helped me market myself better and was instrumental in getting me visible and promoted
Mentor no 2 - coached me as I bridged my knowledge gap as I transitioned into a new role. During a difficult meeting, he literally sat next to me and had my back
Mentor no 3 - supported me as I took on a leadership role in a new subject matter area. She provided resources and a sounding board
Mentor no 4 - has been my on-off unofficial mentor for years, helping me navigate next steps and providing tough love and great feedback
... and I haven't forgotten how any of these 4 mentors made me feel :-)
I am now so happy to be one of the Directors for Mentoring on the Board of the Learning Network! Members of the Learning Network can get 5 mentoring sessions!
Annual membership is gbp 29 and excellent value - join here --> https://thelearning-network.org/join/
