Mentors
Something for every Spark-ED member who has been thinking about reaching out to someone for guidance but has not done it yet.
Stop trying to find the perfect way to ask for a mentor.
There is no perfect way. And the formal ask almost never works anyway.
Here is what does.
Ask for a conversation, not a commitment.
"I am working on [specific thing]. You have done this well. Could I ask you three specific questions in 20 minutes? I will come prepared and respect your time."
That is it.
Specific. Low pressure. Easy to say yes to.
One conversation becomes two.
Two becomes a relationship.
The mentorship builds without anyone ever having to formally agree to anything.
This week, identify one person whose path you genuinely admire.
Write the message above with their specific context filled in.
Send it before Friday.
Drop below who you are going to reach out to. This community will hold you to it. 👇
