I just need a mentoring session or two to work through my current challenges. A good mentor helps you improve:The quality of your work: Mentorship supports your professional standing through sharing knowledge, protection from pitfalls, exposure and networking, stretch assignments, and recognition. How you emotionally respond to the work: Mentorship can increase your confidence, fulfillment, and sense of belonging. If you need targeted advice quickly and have the money, then coaching might be helpful, but it isn’t the same as an ongoing mentorship. As AI pervades our workplaces, people need authentic human mentorship more than ever.
