How do I know if I need a mentor?

If you are facing uncertainty—whether it is a promotion, a leadership challenge, or a career change—a mentor can provide the perspective you need to move forward.

Where can I find a mentor?

Begin with your current network. Former managers, senior colleagues, or industry professionals you admire are often the best place to start. Informal relationships can be as powerful as structured programs.

How do I make the most of mentorship?

Be proactive. Come prepared, be open, ask thoughtful questions, and act on advice. The more engaged you are, the more value you will gain.

Can mentorship help with a career change?

Yes. Mentors can help you identify the skills you need, frame your past experience in new ways, and guide you into a different field with confidence.
