Episode 38: The One About Mentorship

I used to think that if I could just clone myself a few times I might have the most perfect team and we’d produce the most perfect slides…

Aside from that likely being a disaster, I used to think that’s how mentorship worked. I mentor or coach someone to do things in the method of whatever firm we were working for so that I had more arms and legs to do work for clients.

Luckily I learned better.

It isn’t about the firm or the client or even the work. It’s about individual growth of both the mentor and the mentee.

I wanted to explore the concept of mentorship with some of my smart friends. So I sat down with Phil Yanov, Whynde Kuehn and Oliver Cronk.

In this Episode:

  • What do we mean by mentorship?
  • What are the different models of mentorship?
  • How do we compare apprenticeship, coaching, mentorship?
  • Why is it important to people at all stages of the career?
  • What is the difference between mentorship and therapy?
  • What is good mentorship and what isn’t? What works?
