At some point in your career you may feel like you're not getting the mentorship you need from the people around you. When this happens, ask yourself if that's because you still need a mentor or because it's time for you to step up and start becoming the mentor? As much as I like to think of myself as one of the twenty year olds at work, I'm definitely not. I still have a sense youthful exuberance about me, and my unaging good looks might seem like I'm a recent graduate, but my eyes reveal a deep level of wisdom that has come from years of experience and suffering. Experience that other members of the team will benefit from. You might not have my youthful looks but you will have experience that others need. So instead of looking for what you can get, start thinking about what you have to give.
But who mentors the mentors? 🤔

Being a teacher/mentor is tricky. At that knowledge level, you're better equipped to know how much you don't know and that affects your confidence.
