  • Next, think about individuals with whom you have a deeper relationship, such as a mentor or coach. Typically, these are individuals with whom you have regular interactions, and they provide advice and guidance to you. (Note: Your role model and your mentor may be the same person, but the attributes of the relationship will likely be different.)
  • Describe your relationship with your mentor or coach.
    • What type of guidance do you seek from these individuals?
    • Why did you select these individuals?
  • Now, think about the types of mentors that you need to get to the next stages of your career.
    • Who might these mentors be (no specific people, but think about roles, skills, and experience)?
    • What do you hope to learn?
  • Explain the importance of having role models and mentors or coaches in your own development.
  • Describe at least three specific examples of how you currently build and nurture professional relationships and how you will use these types of strategies to help you be a better manager and positively influence your career in the future.
  • Explain the impact of having a professional network.
    • What are the benefits?
    • What does it take to build one that will support you?
    • How will you continue to refine your skills in this area?
