Mentors at work. We know they’re good to have, but there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to finding one. They can be someone on your team, someone in your company, or someone in a totally different line of work. But no matter who it is, there are some best practices when it comes to starting - and maintaining - those relationships. This week, we talked to Rashida Jones, president of MSNBC, to learn how she found mentors - and how she sustained those relationships throughout her career.
In this episode, Rashida shares:
- What she goes to her mentors for
- How to start looking for a mentor
- How to push past the awkwardness of those first few convos
- Why mentees have to drive the relationship
- Why it’s good to have more than one mentor
- How to be direct with mentors about what you want to get out of the relationship
- How to transition from mentee to mentor
