      5 leadership mentors who can transform your career

      You don't need to pay thousands for leadership coaching.

      The best mentors are already available to you - even if you never meet them.

      Here are 5 leadership mentors who can transform your career:

      1. Books

      Not just any books. The ones that challenge your thinking.

      I've learned more from authors like Simon Sinek & Brené Brown than from many in-person conversations.

      They've shaped my leadership philosophy without ever knowing my name.

      2. Podcasts

      They're like having coffee with brilliant minds during your commute.

      Free masterclasses delivered straight to your ears.

      The intimacy of someone's voice sharing their hard-won wisdom is powerful.

      3. Your current boss

      Whether amazing or terrible - both teach valuable lessons.

      My worst manager showed me exactly what NOT to do.

      My best one demonstrated what genuine leadership looks like.

      Both shaped me profoundly.

      4. Peers & colleagues

      The people beside you hold incredible insights.

      Watch how they handle conflict, motivate others, or navigate tough situations.

      Some of my biggest breakthroughs came from observing a teammate handle a crisis.

      5. Your team members

      They'll teach you more about leadership than anyone else.

      Their feedback, responses, and growth reflect your impact directly.

      Listen closely - they're showing you who you really are as a leader.

      The truth? Leadership mentorship is everywhere if you're paying attention.

      You don't need exclusive access or expensive programs.

      You just need open eyes, humility, and the willingness to learn from everyone around you.

      Who's been your unexpected leadership mentor?
