Is it realistic to expect one mentor to relate with who you are and aspire to become on a personal and professional level? Join us for this episode and learn why Dr. Ariela Marshall firmly believes that “it’s rare to find a mentor for both your work and your life” and why you should be open to bringing mentors into your life that can each help you to overcome specific challenges.
Pearls of Wisdom:
1. We need to discuss one problem or area of opportunity with
one person rather than getting scattered. That's fundamental;
rather than taking the same question to six people, find the one
person who can offer the perfect solution.
2. Open up to your mentors. It doesn't have to be with everybody,
but exerting effort to search for that person is essential; we'll
be amazed at the similarities we’ll discover between us. Despite
feeling alone sometimes, we’re not alone.
3. People exceeding your expectations are the people that you want
to exceed expectations for.
