Are Mid-Career Mentors Needed?

“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” — Bob Proctor

Transitioning careers during the mid-point can be both enriching & perplexing. This phase offers a chance for professional development drawing upon the wealth of experience accumulated. However, it also prompts significant introspection, presenting questions like whether to persist as a Technical Expert or transition to roles emphasizing Functional Knowledge. Contemplate on continuity or ventures into freelancing or establishing a consultancy.

If you are fortunate to have supportive senior leaders within your organization offering coaching, take advantage of their guidance. Engaging with a professional coach can offer invaluable insights through incisive questioning. Embracing coaching is a valuable opportunity that can propel your career forward.
