At UX Brighton's Mentorship Launch (12 July 2022), Peter Winchester (Head of Design, Madgex) talks about growing a career with or without a mentor. Programme: working with a mentor can move a career forward, but not everyone finds the right person at the right time — he covers alternative ways to progress. From the talk: mentors help but are not the only route; impostor syndrome can make experienced people hesitate to mentor; career coaches are a paid alternative; peers at a similar level are overlooked; contacting an experienced podcast guest for a one-hour conversation changed a graduate's path.
