We’re midway through the 2019 Adweek Executive Mentor Program, pairing mentees with 110 of the world’s most accomplished marketing leaders. As a quick check-in, we reached out to all 113 mentees (a couple of mentors took on more than one mentee!) to find out how things were going and what key learnings could be shared with our community.
Since all of our mentees have unique challenges and goals—not to mention different backgrounds, industries, roles and geographies, from San Francisco to Nigeria—feedback varied greatly, but we gleaned some common themes and powerful tips.
What surprised you most about your mentor?
The most common theme that emerged was how surprised the mentees were at how approachable, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to their mentor was and, in many cases, how much extra time the mentor offered beyond the scope of the program.
