How mentoring shaped top leaders - and how it's changing in an AI era

As more professionals turn to AI for career guidance, is human mentorship extinct? Not by a long shot, according to our experts. Mentors will continue to be critical in shaping talent, but will make their mark not by sharing expertise but by leveraging truly human skills -- by meeting changing needs in time and by being a champion that unlocks potential, not just directs it.

Key insights:
- Mentorship is moving from expertise to emotional intelligence
- The best leaders will continue to prioritize people over output alone

In this moment of change, Learn how the top minds of our time have been changed by their own mentors and how an AI era will reshape how mentors guide teams and drive potential.

Some of the leaders featured in this episode:

-Workera's founder Kian Katanforoosh - on how mentorship is changing thanks to new technologies, and what it needs to be effective
