Hey @channel,
Are you looking for a mentor? Here's your opportunity.

TL;DR - Post here thread if you want a mentor OR want to be a mentor.

Add your credentials; experience, position, and goals for mentorship.
Mentors please share your expertise for offering mentorship.

I'm asked regularly to help people find a mentor. I've tried to turn this into a program but the time investment just isn't realistic for making decent matches.
However, I can still help. Starting this month I'm posting the Mentorship thread; you can post here if you want a mentor, or post to say you are willing to be a mentor.
I will share this in the newsletter, on LinkedIn, during the weekly call, and other methods.

I want a mentor! I've always been based out of India working with customers based around the world. Along with mentoring/advice on how I can position myself better to customers, I also would love any suggestions on how I can build relationships internally.

Not sure I have the capacity to commit to ongoing mentorship, but have the ability and willingness to meet 1:1 with folks who are stuck.

Things I'm good at:
• Starting a V1 customer marketing function (going from random acts of CMA to something more intentional)
• Building relationships around the organization
• Getting buy-in for more formal programs
Happy to share briefs, decks, and program documents with anyone, if I have something available as well.

@Krutika Mathihalli can you share a bit more about what you would like to get out of mentoring? Who are you looking for?

Hello all - I would like a mentor!
Going through a career transition in the near future and starting to look for new roles after feeling burnt out doing all Customer Marketing things at a start up.

Would love mentorship on my resume, how to promote myself as leader and perhaps interview prep. This burnout has also caused significant social anxiety and Im wanting to get back to being an authentic person in the workplace - so bare with my awkwardness 🫣

@Kamrin Coffey I would be happy to connect or give resume feedback!

I'm happy to be a mentor. I have 7 years of experience in customer marketing/advocacy and I've done about everything--ABM, lifecycle, all the advocacy programs, sales enablement, etc. Some of the things I'm good at are design-centered thinking and strategy (basically, how do you identify the problems you need to solve so you can come up with a better solution the first time), tying advocacy programs to revenue, and getting executive buy-in for your programs. You can connect with me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyecoleman/)

Happy to mentor - best at the team of 1 concept that many of us live through.
