I want to be more diligent about finding a mentor to help me grow, outside of my supervisor. We meet many in our lives that can become our coaches or mentors, for longer or shorter periods of time. Finding a good mentor/coach/teacher is tough, but starting a blog exposes you to a huge measure of immediate coaching.

It’s the best way to have a meaningful conversation and it’s the best way to rope in a mentor or look like a star performer. It takes a lot of practice and patience to get it "right" and you, your mentor, or anybody else for that matter have a finite amount of time to pursue answers. That rings true to me.
