Do you have a mentor? Someone who you look up to? Who guides you, or did at some point? A platonic ideal. A person that knows—seems to know—so much about the world you envision yourself in? I read a lot of memoirs and the concept, or rather reality, of people serving as beacons of example comes up over and over again, women and men who have played roles of inspiration in lives, anchors. I’ve worked in the corporate world for most of my professional life; there, I saw this occur over and over again, people serving as Rabbi’s to those around them, promoting and supporting their chosen few. I didn’t have that person, someone that laid out the rules for me to follow, someone that took me under their wing. Yes, I was hired, but often, not part of an inner circle that protected its team. When I became an executive, I made sure not only to lead, but to give guidance. To share the dollops of the business I’ve learned, the ones I could have used along the way. A mentor is a precious thing; if you have one, take a moment and thank that person. It’s possible doesn’t even know the role they have in your life.
