Want to grow leaders who spot and support before the ask? Letโs design for that.
Mentorship isnโt charity - itโs strategy. In this Forbes feature, I shared how proactive mentorship isnโt about having the answers, but noticing who isnโt asking for help and giving anyway. Leaders who lead this way build loyalty, depth, and safety at scale.

"Great mentors look out for you. I am all about being proactiveโ100%! Everyone should find a mentor if they can. I also believe the right thing to do when someone has not had the same privileges in life as others is for leaders to take a step back with compassion. A good mentor will feel compelled to act. They will find you. They notice who is not asking for help, but needs it, and they give it kindly."
