Why do you think mentorship is crucial to the success of a professional or entrepreneurial woman? What advice would you give to a woman who needs a mentor?

Mentors have made my career and given me the ability to become the woman I am today. I have had mentors for most of my professional career and they have challenged me to believe in my abilities in moments I did not. A good mentor is honest with non-judgement and a guide to the mentee to the world that their mentee wants to be in. If you need a mentor, I urge you to find someone who has done what you want to do, is willing to make time for you monthly to meet. Your responsibility is just as important as a mentor, go prepared with a framework for the session so they know you are not wasting their time and you can get value from the session.

What qualities do you think a mentor needs to create a good relationship with their mentee?

Mentors should be open to teaching, have an abundant mentality that wants their mentee to succeed. Mentors that are effective can give real life examples to the challenges facing the mentee and is willing to make opportunities for the mentee in their circles.

What qualities does a mentee need to succeed?

Mentees need to know what they want and be strong in their belief of their business or career options. They should prepare 6-10 questions for each mentor session and ensure they are respectful of their mentees time.

What is the best advice your mentor has given to you?

Stay laser focused on you and your outcomes. Do not sway no matter what you see on social media, or hear out there. Focus on you and nobody else.

You are quotable! What wise words would you like to share?

“Your past does not define you, but it made you who you are. It’s part of your genius.” – Amy Syed
