Episode 92 | It’s Not You, It’s Me… Or Is It? (Making Sure Your Mentor Is the Right Fit)

Question

Hey, Work Wives, this is Emma Lee from Lincoln, Nebraska. I have, I don't know, kind of a bad question. I think my mentor is maybe not a good mentor. We meet regularly, I bring an agenda, and he generally gives me advice about career and life, but nothing is really special about it. The way you two talk about mentors, it seems like they are these magical beings who make your fairytale a reality. But mine is just a...pumpkin. Am I doing something wrong here?

Summary

Mentors are one size fits one, so make sure you know why you’re seeking mentoring mentorship *and* that your chosen mentor can do the job.
