Are you struggling to find one? Do you have any doubt that a mentor adds value to your professional growth? These questions (and many more) led us to talk through mentorship and what to look for in a mentor.\n\nAnd, since we mention the \"The 10 Commandments of Mentorship,\" here they are:\n1: Don't use the word 'mentor'\n2: Don't treat it like a transaction\n3: Show up prepared with questions\n4: Don't boil the ocean in every meeting\n5: Ask your mentor to check your blind spots\n6: Look for themes and organizing principles\n7: Be honest and transparent\n8: Don't give homework — focus on execution\n9: Make sure mentors are learning too\n10: Always have multiple mentors\n\n[courtesy of https://review.firstround.com/we-studied-100-mentor-mentee-matches-heres-what-makes-mentorship-work]\n\n"}
