Who is mentoring you?

That was the question of the day. Bob was talking about how to attract high quality mentors. He had a number of great suggestions....

But what really stood out to me was the importance of having mentors. That's plural--mentors--not just one. No one person is great at everything, so I need to find people to mentor me in the various skills and roles I have in life.

That got me to thinking....just who are my mentors? I know of a couple of people I look to for advice and mentoring, but there are a lot of areas where I really need some guidance where I just stumble along. I guess I need to get busy and identify some people with whom I can spend time and be mentored.

One of my college professors used to say, "Everyone is ignorant--just on different subjects." The opposite is also true: Everyone is brilliant--just in different areas.

Now, off to find those mentors!!
