Different types of mentors: you might have technical mentors, people who can help you with career paths, industry mentors who you can learn from.
Once you know how you want to approach the mentoring journey, look at documenting the goals. Organizations have a north star. Find your *personal* north star too.
Who do you want to be? Where do you want to be? Then: what goals do you need to get there? What mentors will you need?

1. Admit what you don't know. Ask for help when you need it.
2. Share when you're struggling.
3. Develop an awareness of how vulnerability feels.
4. Find a friend to practice being vulnerable with. It gets more comfortable the more you do it.
Vulnerability needs boundaries. It doesn't mean you should freak out and scare people.
