Business Mentoring Matters

Lauren Zalaznick, President of Women & Lifestyle Entertainment Networks, NBC Universal, was told by her fist boss at VH1, “Throughout your career, you’re going to hear lots of feedback from show-makers and peers and employees and bosses.  If you hear a certain piece of feedback consistently and you don’t agree with it, it doesn’t matter what you think.  Truth is, you’re being perceived that way.”  With this advise, Lauren changed from a person know for making snap decisions to someone who’s viewed as thoughtful and analytical.  

When was the last time you took into consideration some advice that was given to you by your mentor or mentoree?
