Ginny’s Advice

Room for Improvement

You might be limiting their growth by focusing too much on your own experience. Not everyone wants to follow your exact path, and that’s okay.

Make a Conscious Shift

Mentorship is more than skill-sharing. Instead of shaping them to fit your mold, focus on helping to develop each person’s unique strengths — yes, even if it means they outgrow their role with you or your company. Nurture their growth, even if it takes them down a path you didn’t see coming. The goal is to help them thrive, wherever that leads.
