Mentorship-mentee experience -
I have the opportunity to be mentored 1x1 and within a group in the US. I’ve never had this before except for informal relationships I’ve built in the past asking for advice.
Have you experienced both, and what is the difference - topics? Approach?

As a formal 1:1 mentee, I received a lot of guidance as to how to approach the sessions/program: purpose discussions, goals, strengths/weaknesses, etc. The mentor asked a lot about specific cases or challenge areas I wanted to work on each time we met. Eventually the relationship became less structured and topics shifted from strategic to tactical (still in lens of coaching others though). Would highly recommend. It was an opportunity to work with someone I never would have otherwise and someone who truly loved coaching (since left to start their own exec coaching company) as opposed to did it out of HR expectation. And this is someone who has zero connection to your working relationships so you can speak more freely in some cases.

Had a group coaching session or two in business school. It was helpful to hear others views and responses - though you can’t get as deep into a topic always nor have time to cover multiple points so have to prioritize.

My informal ones are very diverse experiences.

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

What is the best way to attract a new mate? I got out of a 7 year relationship (he was cheating on me for half of it) and I’m so confused on where to even start. I have a therapist and working on my trust issues - but I have self confidence issues. I’ve been burned for being ‘unattractive’. But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?
