A lack of mentorship is a common theme I’ve observed among the lawyers I’m in conversation with. Both junior and senior lawyers face the challenge of finding a mentor who supports, inspires, and connects with them on a deep level, and there are a number of reasons why cultivating a mentorship relationship can feel difficult.
Chances are you’re already in an environment where you have easy access to meeting potential mentors, working with them, and fostering a mentor-mentee relationship with them. So while most of you might be waiting around to come across who you think would be your perfect mentor, what if you took control and initiated those relationships?
If you’re currently seeking out a mentorship relationship but don’t know where to start, listen in this week. I’m offering you a three-phase process that will help you create the mentorship relationships you want and need, questions to ask yourself that will provide clarity on the mentor you’re looking for, and my top tips on being a great mentee.
I have created a group coaching program dedicated to supporting women lawyers, just like you, in your practice and your personal life. I’m going to help you create an even greater impact in your own life, and the lives of those around you. For more information, click here!
