The old sociology books used to call this drive to mentor and to coach "generativity" Penelope, your M.O. is mentoring/coaching, as well!!! It has been the hardest and the smartest–and yes, the most "interesting" (see Penelope's prior post on lessons from LeBron James) undertaking of my life.

Maybe colleges should start sending their career center employees out to recruit applicants. Yet, in looking beyond the selection of employers who can afford to participate in on-campus recruiting, our counselors help students seek out customized resources for their particular fields of interest. I just thought of something.

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.

When it comes to finding a mentor, the most effective mentors are 3-5 years ahead of you in the workplace. I was wondering if there were any ways you knew of online to find a mentor. And I benefited both professionally and personally when someone in that position mentored me many years ago. Great post! Thank you!

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.
