This new city, new job mentoring program?

I was paired with a Human Resources Leader at a well-known organisation. It was the kind of organisation I would like to work for one day. But the experience was disappointing. He just talked at me. Gave me advice I didn’t ask for. Gave me advice I didn’t need. Didn’t listen. Didn’t ask me any questions.

I didn’t organise the second mentoring meeting.

It was the start of me noticing that Senior Leaders (#notallseniorleaders 🙄) often seem to feel they have been anointed by a sparkly wand which has given them permission to talk. About everything they know. About things they don’t know. Just talk.
