I am in the process of moving from a Director of HR position into a VP of HR role with my current company. I've been in HRD roles within hospitality for the past 15 years and am searching for a mentor who could guide me in becoming more strategically focused. Anyone want to fill that role? Or advice how to find a mentor like this?

Definitely lean into your network. Think about ppl you have worked with in the past or currently. I have a HR mentor and also a business (operations) mentor.

My HR mentor recently recommended this book due to me being promoted to a Director HRBP role.

The HR Value Proposition
by Wayne Brockbank and Dave Ulrich

Thanks; I'll look into that book!

Wish it were that easy, I’ve been struggling to find a mentor myself.

It's funny how challenging it can be! I'm going to try going through SHRM

Question is for all jobs, not just litigation and not just legal.
