I’m a strong believer in the value of mentorship as a practice. I’ve received great mentorship throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, and I’ve actively provided it, too. However, when it comes to formal mentorship programs, I take issue with the fact that so many of them target women and people of colour while few, if any, are available for men.
I think business mentorship programs should be structured around skill sets and other types of common ground – helping people of all genders and races succeed based on whatever their starting point or specific challenges might be. Gender, race and other personal features aren’t what determines a person’s needs. Mentoring should be about meeting people where they’re at and helping them succeed, not about predetermining a person’s needs depending on what social category they fall into.
