#03 Nine life lessons about career mentorship

Christina Wonders - by Christina Wunder

This is a special English speaking edition of “Christina Wonders” - a Podcast where I ask: why is the world the way it is? Why is it so hard to change anything? And what can we all do to make our world a better place?

In this episode, I am sharing a talk I gave at the women.code(be) community. I speak about why I believe we should all prioritise mentorship in our careers. And I share 9 life lessons that I wish I had known earlier.

We all know the myth that women can’t support each other, that they're always in competition. Storytelling - from the bible to fairy tales to modern Hollywood plots - supports this myth and suggests that the public sphere only has space for very few of us. The prettiest one, the chosen one, the one.
Not only is this not true, but it's harmful. Because these stories prevent us from forming bonds, supporting each other and taking up space.

In this episode I share some simple tricks that will benefit your career, professional relationships and well-being.
