5 Steps to Find the Right Mentor for You

-
Unexpected Wisdom
1. Identify one “accomplished” person in the professional area in which you want to grow.
2. Try different approaches to find the right coach. First ask friends and people you respect if they can recommend a coach or adviser. You can also search online for coaches and advisers with the expertise you want. I prefer in-person coaching sessions, but you might be fine with a phone call or Skype session.
3. Meet the coach to ask about his style and approach. Some use a defined system or process, some are certified by an organization, and others have a more organic approach. Interview at least three coaches before making a decision. Keep in mind that just because someone claims to be a coach doesn’t mean the fit is right for you. Always speak to a coaching candidate’s references.
4. Start small. Don’t sign a long-term contract until you’ve had a few sessions. Coaches may not like this, but it’s always better to test-drive before you buy.
5. Stick with it. Good coaches will challenge you. That’s their job! You’re probably not going to grow until you get uncomfortable.
In my case, choosing a younger coach opened my eyes on where I can find wisdom. As one of my mentors told me, age is not a number as much as it is a point of view.
