WOH 73: What it Takes to Mentor Women (and Men)

In our study on Disruption and Reskilling, we found that one of the top ways employees want to learn new and different skill sets is through coaching and mentoring. However, mentoring is one of those concepts that is often oversimplified in the workplace. It's more than a casual conversation or one-way relationship. As today's guest on We're Only Human puts it, there's a level of "needed nervousness" to create positive tension and a supportive relationship. In other words, if you're always comfortable, you are overlooking growth opportunities and you're not developing at the rate you could be. In an intriguing conversation with Major Chaveso "Chevy" Cook, an active duty officer and expert on mentoring and human interaction, Ben works with Chevy to dig into what it takes to create powerful, positive mentoring relationships that drive impact and value for the participants.
