    Five fresh ideas for making mentoring work in 2025

    In this episode, I explore how to approach mentorship strategically in 2025, offering five key "needle movers" to help you find an exceptional mentor and maximise the relationship. In my view, mentorship should always be pursued with purpose and thoughtfulness, and be integrated into your broader career strategy. By focusing on the right relationships, mentorship can be a powerful tool for professional growth. And here's a quick tip, don't assume that seniority equates to effective mentorship. While senior leaders bring authority and experience, meaningful mentorship is about finding someone aligned with your goals who offers actionable insights, not just a prestigious title. Intrigued?
