Embraces Unconditional Feedback

Mentors are still looking to grow and mature in their own work.

They embrace unconditional feedback because they want to continuously improve and become a better resource for you. Mentors like this may be hard to find, but they do exist. They don’t leverage their title or authority to limit your voice. On the contrary, they give you a voice – without feeling that your voice should be restricted to its place on the hierarchical organizational chart. If your mentor embraces feedback, you must trust them – and yourself – enough to give it. If not, holding back may backfire on you because he or she may lose faith in you if you don’t engage in trust-building when you have the opportunity.
