In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I am going to outline the steps for finding a mentor in your engineering career who can guide you toward achieving your goals.

Finding the right mentor in your engineering career can rapidly facilitate your development. A mentor can help you avoid mistakes that other engineers have made in the past.

Engineering Management InstituteAs always, I will also provide a career-changing tip at the end of the show. This week’s tip will force you to identify the most important challenge or goal in your engineering career and will give you a strategy to overcome or achieve it.

“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” – John Crosby

During the show, I will help an engineer put together a plan for finding the perfect mentor for him. Our guest for Session 5 is Praveen from India, a 27-year-old materials engineer in the automotive industry.

Listen to this session and learn:

  • What type of people you should talk to when seeking out a mentor.
  • Why you can’t be your own mentor.
  • How your goals play an important role in the process of selecting a mentor and in the mentoring process itself.
  • How and where to find the right mentor for you.
  • Why a mentoring program within your engineering company may not always be the best option.
  • Where to look for a mentor outside your company.
  • The importance of being consistent in your work with your mentor.
  • Guidelines for creating a successful mentoring relationship.
