Perhaps you’ve noticed a trend in this month’s newsletters. By this point in the conversation, one thing should be clear:

Mentorship is not a phase.
It’s a practice.

It’s not something you “complete” early in your career and then leave behind once you’ve accumulated enough experience or credibility. If anything, the need for intentional perspective increases as roles become more complex and more isolating.

The leaders who sustain excellence over time don’t outgrow mentors.
They curate them. Intentionally selecting voices of wisdom and exhortation, nurturing their access to expertise, and applying the lessons learned like their leadership depends on it (note to self: it does!).
