I spend a lot of time on college campuses, a lot of time mentoring young women in all sectors of business, because I don't want them to spend as much time to get their voice as I did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I take mentoring very seriously and as a result I hardly get any work done during the school year.
I take mentoring very seriously and I am on the board of an organization called Girls Write Now, where we match teen girls and writing mentors because it changes their lives.
Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.
I have worked for a lot of really great leaders and mentors that I felt provided me, along with many of my peers - many of them women - opportunities.
The biggest thing I want to see is that people have the drive to succeed. If they can 'take it or leave it,' I don't do business with them. I enjoy mentoring. I like people who want to learn.
I look up to people that are much older than me, so being a mentor is a full time job.
I had some great mentors as I was coming up and starting to sing so early - I've been singing since I was four. I had people telling me how to preserve myself.
The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.
I look up to a lot of people, but outside of my parents, I've never really had a mentor.
There's natural mentoring that goes on in my life every day.
