My mentors are men and women, different races and ages—that diversity is a benefit for me. I might go to one of my mentors for salary negotiation advice, and I might go to another on how to gain buy-in from my colleagues or how to dress to impress. Everyone serves a purpose! They aren’t all necessarily people I speak to every day or even people who will stay mentors forever, but they are people I trust to have my best interests at heart.
