Mentor with Your Talents, Not Your Title

What if mentoring had nothing to do with seniority — and everything to do with strengths? In this Squiggly Shortcut, Sarah makes the case for a more inclusive, more accessible approach to mentoring that every team can make happen straight away.

🎯 What You'll Learn

– Why strengths-based mentoring is more useful than traditional senior-to-junior mentoring

– Three ways to make it work: one way, two way (strengths swapping), and one to many

– How to make your ask for mentoring specific, easy to say yes to, and genuinely flattering to receive

– Why building a spreadsheet of team strengths could be one of the most useful things your team does this year
