A MENTOR IS A VALUED ASSET TO YOUR CAREER PATH

As this year’s college graduates stream into the work- place, it seems a good time to mention a powerful con- cept for building a successful career: Getting Mentored You can gain a mentor at any age, but it’s particularly helpful for entry level employees who can benefit from the experience of a career professional whose work style, knowledge, success and business ethics they respect. Your mentor can be someone you work with or an ex- perienced businessperson in or outside your chosen field. Most importantly, a mentor typically doesn’t find you – you find them. Your mentor’s expectations are often higher for you than those you set for yourself. They are excellent coaches, someone to share concerns and challenges with, and some- one who will help you navigate your goals, leadership growth, a difficult obstacle or even explore the concept and business plan of an entrepreneurial business venture you have been pondering.
