The Invisible Mentor

Posts Tagged ‘Toolkit’

If you haven’t already, it’s time to take your professional development into your own hands, and invisible mentors will help you to do just that! Invisible mentors are unique leaders that you can learn things from by simply observing them from a distance, or researching them on the Internet. It’s simpler than you might think, here is how:

1. What do you want to learn and why (See Knowledge for a Reason)?
2. Who knows what you want to learn?
3. Make a list of the five top experts in the field.
4. Research them using your favourite search engine.
5. What articles and books have they written? What articles and books have been written about them?
6. Which presentations and speeches have they given?
7. Look for videos about them.
8. Visit their websites and fan pages.
9. Take time to read the information and digest it, then compare it to what you already know.
10. Teach the information to another person to cement it into your memory.
