ED’S NOTE | SAJN
Editor’s
note
ourselves. We lose a trusted and honest voice. A good mentor is someone who supports and encourages us to reach for higher goals, to take the next step and pushes us to succeed. The perfect mentor is one who is experienced in an area where we might need a little extra help because we lack knowledge, confidence or experience. A good mentor helps us stay accountable to our goals. They help us focus and remain on track. When we become frustrated and want to give up, they push us harder and keep us going. I learnt something early in life – that there is always someone more knowledgeable than I and that it is great to have someone off whom to bounce ideas. I have also realised that a great mentor does not tell you what to do: they find ways to bring out the best in you.
IN THIS ISSUE OF SAJN, AS WE DID IN THE previous issue, we mourn the deaths of several renowned national and international industry icons. As tributes for them poured onto various social media platforms, one word that stood out for me was “mentor”. In our lives there are dozens of people who have managed to be very successful at what they do, and these individuals provide a wealth of information and wisdom, as long as we are able to tap into it. This issue also marks the month in which one of my personal mentors and a beloved colleague, Alice Weil, would have celebrated her 102nd birthday. When a mentor dies, there is a unique kind of loss and heartbreak. We lose the future lessons we will no longer be able to learn from them. We lose a person who saw in us the potential for more than we could see in

Alice for a while before she passed away. Who knows what stories and gems of wisdom I missed? However, I do not believe we ever really say “goodbye” to a great mentor, as the conversations and lessons we have shared with them never leave our minds. I have met many remarkable people in our industry who have more skills and insights than they realise. Your knowledge can have a profound effect on someone and the advice, support and guidance you offer can become an invaluable resource to others. To see potential and talent in others and develop and nurture it is no small thing. That is how you contribute, connect and build a lasting legacy. There is no substitute for a great mentor.
