LinkedIn on Mentorship #thankyourmentor
When it comes to launching a great career,
even the most successful stars,
TV personalities, and journalists had to
start somewhere.
Here's what some of the world's most
creative professionals learned from their
mentors along the way.
Jessica Alba
Actress and co-founder,
The Honest Company
"Mentorship is valuable because
there's always an opportunity to
learn and grow. I appreciate
mentors who have a great
balance of experience and
guts… you need a bit of both to
truly stand out.
For me, professional
development is about building
on practical feedback and
applying it in real-world
situations. Since that's what I've
learned the most from, that's
what I try to relay to anyone who
asks me for advice.”
“Mentoring is about paying it
forward. I will forever owe a debt of
gratitude to Shelly Schwab (then
Station Manager for WAGA-TV in
Atlanta), who gave me an on-air
reporting job when I was just 19
and still in college. 
He took a chance on me, and I have
always made it MY mission to make
sure that he and every other
employer since never regretted
giving me a shot. I try to repay HIS
kindness to me by encouraging the
young people who work with me to
push their limits.”  
Deborah Norville
Inside Edition Host
Ginger Zee
Chief Meteorologist for ABC News
“James Spann has been one of my main mentors through my
career… He taught me how to be great on television, and
how to be a great scientist all while balancing a family. Few
are able to achieve this in this business, and he has taught
myself and many others over the years.”
Gio Benitez
ABC News Correspondent
“…I unapologetically have a TEAM of mentors who I refer to as my
personal Board of Governors… They come from all walks of life and…
most of them are women in leadership roles…They are all selfless when it
comes to giving me guidance [and] don’t ask for anything in return. That is
the true mark of a mentor, and why I am so grateful to my
personal Board of Governors.”
"Mentors are invaluable in
guiding us through blind
spots and navigating
metaphorical shark-infested
waters.  Suze has already
traversed so many of the
paths I’ve yet to walk as a
businesswoman and hearing
from her experience has
saved me invaluable time,
money, and resources."

“When I became Amanda's
‘Big Sister’ through Big Brothers
Big Sisters, she was 6 years old
and I was in my 20s just starting
out. I had no idea at the time
how much our relationship
would come to mean to me.  
I think I've gotten just as much
out of being her mentor as she
has received from me. It's a
relationship I treasure. She's now
married, has a beautiful little girl
and is working toward a degree.
I could not be more proud.”
Lauren Bush Lauren
CEO and Co-Founder, FEED
“I have been blessed to have a handful of mentors over the last 9 years of
starting and growing FEED… It is important as a leader to be the first to
admit what you don't know. Seek out mentors in those areas as well as
mentors who inspire and motivate you in areas where you already excel.
To know someone who you respect has your best interest in mind and will
give you candid, albeit sometimes tough, advice is an invaluable gift.”
Tamron Hall
TODAY Show Host
“I've said many times: I
learned more from mentors
than I did in some of my
toughest college classes.”
Dylan Dreyer
NBC Weekend Today
Meteorologist
“I never knew I needed one so I
never searched one out, but
when you find a mentor it will
change your life…. Find someone
you want to be like. You won't
become them exactly, but it will
help you take the actions
necessary to get where you want
in your particular life's path.
Be a sponge and soak up any
ounce of advice that person is
willing to provide… little bits
here and there that will help you
through the hurdles.”

Aliza Licht
SVP Global Communications,
Donna Karan
“What is a mentor? It's just
another label. As Donna
Karan aptly states in the
foreword of my book
LEAVE YOUR MARK,
‘Mentors aren’t there to
flatter you; they’re there to
help you.’ So stop looking
for ‘the one’ because you
won’t find one — you’ll find
many.”

JJ Ramberg
MSNBC
“Whenever anyone used to ask me
who my mentor was, I’d feel a
wave of insecurity start to come
over me. I was reluctant to answer
with the truth, which is that I never
had a mentor.
... It turns out that I made a wrong
assumption. Most have not had
one wise, older person who has
shepherded them through their
lives. What most of us have had is
a series of smart people who were
generous with their time and who
have helped us during certain key
periods. “
READ

Mara Schiavocampo
Good Morning America, ABC
“I’ve taken on the role of mentor
myself, and realized the same
thing many people realize about
their parents once they hit
adulthood: Parents are people too.
So are mentors. They (we) are
often struggling with many of the
same issues their mentees are...
Realizing that has helped me
approach those relationships with
more care, not turning to the same
mentor excessively, being
understanding of the demands of
their time and the limitations of
their availability.”

POST
READ
DEEPAK’S
POST
“I observed how he spoke to
people, how he answered
people, what he said, in those
beautiful complicated sentences
he formed within his head, and
in doing so I became more of the
person I wanted to be. Here the
universe had allowed me to
meet someone I so greatly
admired and learned from — and
because I was so thankful, I tried
my best to never take from him
but to allow his nature, his
information to sink in me.”

To know someone who you respect has your best interest in mind and will give you candid, albeit sometimes tough, advice is an invaluable gift.”
