Path for Growth with Alex Judd

We are talking about a topic that we’re deeply passionate at Path for Growth. Today is going to be extremely actionable because we’re talking about maximizing mentorship. This is a very practical conversation and I’m going to share with you the methodology I’ve created for finding and maximizing mentorship.  After buying people coffee or lunch hundreds of times, I’ve created a method for maximizing conversations with people that I think of as mentors (1:43) Everyone should be seeking out and learning from mentors (2:59) I want to start with the three biggest reasons this is worth your time (3:30) The first reason is that you have the opportunity to distill decades into days (4:25) The second reason is that empathetic human connection is essential (6:31) The third reason is that there are few things more valuable than context driven support (8:12) What you’re really signing up for here is responsibility (10:08) Here are the seven steps that I use to maximize mentorship (11:14) Step One: Identify the area or the person that you want to grow (11:58) Step Two: Send a well-worded, intentional and specific request (14:06) Step Three: Prepare questions ahead of time (17:47) Step Four: Buy the coffee or meal (20:14) Step Five: Take notes and lead the conversation (21:40) Step Six: If it was valuable and time you’d like to have again, ask them at the end (25:18) Step Seven: Send an intentional thank you message with evidence of action (26:34) My request to you is to take action (29:25) RESOURCES Path for Growth Membership Path for Growth One-on-One Coaching Sign up for the Worth it Wednesday Email Join Path for Growth on Instagram and Facebook
