    The Lies We Tell Ourselves About Mentoring

    In this eye-opening episode of the WiLD Conversation Podcast, Dr. Ellen Ensher delves into the myths surrounding mentorship. She challenges the belief that simply having a mentor is a one-way ticket to career success. Dr. Ensher and Dr. McKenna discuss the importance of realistic expectations, the limitations of traditional mentorship structures, and the essential role of self-awareness in career growth. From the complexities of AI-assisted mentor matching to the responsibility of contributing back to one's mentors, she shares her insights on how to get the most out of mentoring relationships. Key Takeaways: Mentorship Isn’t a Fix-All SolutionJust having a mentor won’t automatically solve all career challenges. Mentorship is only one part of a larger growth process that involves self-awareness and the willingness to learn and give back. AI and Choice Improve Mentorship MatchesRandom mentor-mentee pairings rarely succeed. However, recent advances in AI offer more refined matching options, though even with algorithms, success depends on a degree of personal choice. Set Realistic ExpectationsMentors aren’t miracle workers. Building a successful mentoring relationship requires calibrating expectations and understanding that it may not fulfill all emotional needs, but can still offer valuable insights.   For more about Dr. Ellen Ensher : https://ellenensher.com/ Ready to explore how we can build trust in your organization? https://meetings.hubspot.com/chris-shaffer/wti-info For more about WiLD Leaders: https://www.wildleaders.org/
