If Mentors Are So Important, Where Are They?

How many women are mentored?

• Nearly one in five, or 19%, of women in the survey say they have never had a mentor. About half of those say they simply never met anyone appropriate.
• It’s not primarily unwillingness to help that dissuades women from being mentors. Instead, 67% of these women say they simply have never been asked.

Actually, once I wanted to have a mentor in a company I worked for.  He was such an intelligent Senior Executive.  I guess he liked me because he would give me now and then some piece of advise.  The problem was that in such a sexiest corporate world, a woman looking for a mentor is sometimes interpreted as looking for something else, so I just didn’t do much and I am pretty much mentor-less, and I think I need someone that would guide me to conquer the world!
