Short YouTube video (by David Jenyns) arguing that mentorship is relational learning: rather than depending on a single mentor, individuals should assemble a group of people from whom they learn. The speaker illustrates this with his experience launching a high-tech mobile enterprise software company and seeking multiple mentors for different needs.
Mentorship is.
A very misunderstood idea.
Most people think of.
Mentors as, let's find a guy like Louis here who we look up to and would like to aspire to be. And please allow me to learn everything at your feet. I don't know if it works or.
Not, but the bottom line is you are a mentor. What I learned from your podcast, from.
Your work teaches me something.
And I need to find a group of people in my life constantly that I'm learning from. They're my mentors. I don't try to rest too much weight in any one individual. Our job is to create a roadmap of individuals in our lives through whom we learn. I started a new high tech mobile enterprise software company. I'm raising money, I'm hiring individuals, I'm coming up with strategy. I'm doing a lot of the stuff I know how to do, a lot of stuff I don't know how to do. I am finding mentors. So mentorship to me is about relational learning. And if you think about it that way, then you don't have a mentor. You have many mentors.
