The Case for Mentorship I've been thinking a lot about the role of mentorship lately. Mentorship is an opportunity to learn from another person in the most wholesome way possible. Your mentor has learned the content through experience, education, and probably a fair bit of mess-making. They are now opening themselves up to sharing that knowledge with you. We've all experienced mentorship throughout our lives, whether that be from an invested teacher, a coach, or just someone we looked up to. In some of those cases, we didn't choose our mentors - they were chosen for us. Now that we're adults, we get to choose if, when, and by whom we are mentored by. That's a big responsibility, but it's one that can make all the difference in the world. Mentorship is part of a commitment to lifelong learning that can give us some invaluable tools, knowledge, and perspective. As I continue on my own mentorship journey (I've been lucky enough to have some wonderful mentors), I will reflect on some of the biggest advantages of an effective mentorship relationship. Note, I will not be talking about the knowledge you stand to gain in a healthy mentorship relationship but will instead focus on some of the other intangibles that are equally as important (and trust me, the knowledge you gain through mentorship is priceless).
