Who do you look up to at work? We all have that one person in the office that we look at and think, “gosh, they’re so smart!” Instead of admiring from afar, reach out to your “work idol” and ask if they can mentor you.
[Do More Than the Bare Minimum at Work]
For some of the more busy folks, you can ask to shadow them when they’re working on specific projects or at speaking events. Utilize that time to watch their demeanor, and take notes if you can. Write down how their body language presents to people, how they handle tough questions and situations, and how they brainstorm and present new ideas. You can also make a list of what you’re hoping to gleam from the experience, that way your mentor can capitalize on your time together.
