Let's delve into a thought-provoking question. What's your relationship with the word 'connection '? Whose opinions do you value when you seek out guidance? When you have to make a big decision, is there someone you value and trust? Mentorship, a crucial aspect of personal and professional growth, is often undervalued. According to Mentorloop, 76% of people believe mentors are important, yet only 37% have one. This gap is significant and underscores the need for more mentorship opportunities. Across the nation, 86% of children ages 6 to 17 have at least one adult mentor in their school, neighborhood, or community who provides advice or guidance, according to the 2022 National Survey of Children's Health.

What makes a good mentor? And what should you do to be a good mentee? In our final episode of Level Up, we'll answer these questions and talk about how to get started with your own mentorship relationship. We're joined by Lucy Lloyd, Co-founder of Mentorloop, which is an online matchmaking site for mentoring relationships. She shares the lessons she's learned from observing hundreds of mentorship relationships in action. In an interesting twist, however, we learn that Lucy's own relationship with her mentor isn't the formal relationship you might expect from someone who runs a business focused on mentoring. Sure, Lucy and her mentor Aaron Wallis guide each other through some tricky business challenges, but they also like to enjoy a few cheeky wines along the way.
