I've always had mixed experiences with mentors and coaches, and never really *got* it until I found someone who's amazing! She's the perfect blend of psychologist and coach (I honestly believe every founder needs a therapist lol) and isn't afraid to tell me exactly how it is. I found her through a recommendation so completely agree this is the best place to start. Loving your articles Aurora, dust off that imposter syndrome and keep writing!
Love this Aurora. I’m also a First Track mentor and have found it so fulfilling and fun! I also agree that the pairing of am operator mentor + coach is really the ideal approach. I’ve definitely benefited from both in my career!
Lessons 4 and 6 were particularly interesting. It is useful to have the time and space to look back and evaluate.
Thank you for pointing that out, Karena!
