My mentor, will call her Jane for the story— Jane was a total stranger and a VP of Marketing at a billion dollar organization my company partnered with. Jane had no clue who my company was nor who I was but I sent her a random LinkedIn message when I was 23 years old saying I admired her career path and was looking for a mentor.
She was so kind and said yes and got to work setting up a call cadence and was amazing at how she navigated a mentorship. Fast forward 7 years we still have never met in person but she feels like a second mom to me— we’re Facebook friends and we’ve kept in touch though family death, graduations, anniversary’s and work accomplishments.
Jane was a total stranger and could have said no and even could have done a half ass job being a mentor but she’s an example of a woman who wants to lift other women up. I can call her at a moments notice and she would answer and help me solve a problem to this day. Just absolutely grateful for her that she said yes to me when I was young in my career because she’s been a huge contributing factor to my success and we’ve never even met in person.
Mentor
Mother Theresa, who committed herself to caring for and educating the most destitute of the world’s people.
Mary Robinson, who decriminalized homosexuality, advanced the legalisation of contraception and the legalisation of divorce, and enabled women to sit on juries.
Eleanor Roosevelt, advocate for civil rights and women's rights.
Oprah Winfrey, normalizing watching hours of TV interviews on weekday afternoons.
Natalie Portman, and the messaging on an incredible commencement speech she gave in 2015 at a Harvard Graduation.
My grandmother. She only had an 8th grade education but taught/demonstrated kindness to strangers, fairness, honesty, keeping one’s word, and not judging people by their income/looks/clothes/color of their skin. We could use more of that.
For me, that means I support and celebrate the success of others, don’t lie, and don’t engage in gossip or judgments of the material items that colleagues/friends may or may not have (e.g., size of Diamond rings, designer clothes/bags)
