In this episode of the Goal Crazy Podcast, Jason talks with Lisa Fain, CEO of the Center for Mentoring Excellence. They dig into what real mentorship looks like, how it’s different from coaching or managing, and why it's valuable for both the mentor and the mentee. Lisa shares practical ways mentorship can help people grow in their careers, build stronger workplace cultures, and create better learning environments.
Lisa discusses how to find a mentor, the value of peer mentoring, and how to make those relationships work—whether in a formal program or more casually. She also reflects on her journey from attorney to entrepreneur and what it was like to take over her mother’s mentoring business. If you're a business owner, leader, or just someone trying to grow, there’s a lot here to take away.
