Hi Sally! Thank you for sharing this wonderful article! I loved it! Specially, because I see you much as my mentor as you saw Frances as yours, in the beginning of your relationship with her. =) Reading your books and following your work, even if from so far (physically) reminds me that what I work for has a lot of purpose and meaning (even when I don´t particularly feel recognized by it, in my environment). Every advice, every wisdom you´ve shared is a lot of what I do and want to continue to do ´when I grow up´. I take notes and share my thoughts, based on much of what you teach us, with my coachees and clients. I´m always in the hopes that, one day, I will be able to work with you or be closer to your circles, as it was with you and Frances :) Until then, stealth mentoring works for me, and I truly appreciate it! I just wanted you to know it! 🌹 Best always!
What a great concept, Sally! I’ve worked with cohorts of emerging leaders identifying competency-specific, on-the-job development actions. We’ve talked about watching peers and higher level leaders who are strong in competencies that are your develop needs and learning from them. When I wrote my book describing the characteristics that women who’d advanced to the top of their organizations had in common, my hope was that the profile could provide a mentor proxy to women. Even today I think “what would my women leaders do in this situation.“ Stealth Mentoring resonates!! Thank you!
Thank you Liliane. Wonderful to know that I am in some ways a stealth mentor for you! Very glad you resonated with this newsletter.
And as always, I'm grateful for your support.
