"In my experience, the best mentors aren't just cheerleaders -- they're coaches. They encourage you, but they also teach you how to think strategically about how to set yourself up for success. I loved that my managers at Microsoft helped me get on projects that would give me the skills I needed to advance. They acted like sponsors -- they were always thinking about the next step and made sure I was, too. That's what I try to do for the young people I mentor as well.

And one other thing I'd say? The most important mentoring I've had in my life hasn't always been formal. There are rarely moments where you officially declare someone your mentor and go schedule advice-getting time in your calendar. It's really just about developing relationships with individuals who you admire and can relate to." -Melinda Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
