Lean In offers mentorship opportunities for women, but their advice is useful for all mentors and mentees.
Lean In writes: We want a world where people of every gender can pursue their dreams without bias or other barriers holding them back. Where girls grow up to be confident, resilient leaders. Where more women run companies and countries. We are driven by the belief our society and economy would be better if women and girls were valued as equal to men and boys.
Mentorship and sponsorship are key drivers of success, yet women can have a harder time finding mentors and sponsors, especially ones with influence. The good news is that we can mentor other women at any stage in our careers, and it pays off when we do. Women who are mentored by women feel more supported and are often more satisfied with their career.
Use our tips to be the best mentor/mentee you can be, and remember, like all good relationships, mentorship is a two-way street.
