Earlier this year I tried to find a female mentor and failed. I went on plenty of lunch and coffee sessions, was actively telling people of my search, but couldn’t find the right fit. For so many people early in their career, it can feel impossible to find a mentor. I thought that I didn’t have anything to offer in return for the mentorship. I was reading an article by Bumble the other day on “How To Ask a Mentor Out for Coffee and Create a Lasting Relationship” and could TOTALLY empathize. I made so many of the mistakes that the article called out like 1. Making the first meeting too long 2. Using the word “mentor” too early 3. Not nailing my elevator pitch I’ve been chatting with great people on BumbleBizz. Download and checkout Bumble so you can find your very own mentor or mentee. How have you been able to find mentors? #BumblePartner
