I’ve never loved the term mentor.
I’m not sure if it was a painful experience of a formal, rigid program or just a bad fit early in my career but there’s something about it that’s always jarred with me.
But while I don’t love the term, I do love the idea.
And if a mentor is some one you trust, you go to for guidance and counsel, the first referee on your resume and the last person on your speed dial.
Then today’s guest is one of my mentors.
She played a huge part in my early career development and has supported me through some pretty significant career changes since.
When I asked what her passion was, it was no surprise to me that she said empowering others.
Because that’s exactly what she’s done to me and I hope by listening to this episode you might find yourself a little empowered too.
