Career mentoring has never been more important. In a world where roles are evolving faster than job titles can keep up, mentoring provides something algorithms alone can’t: perspective, context, and human judgment. Great mentors don’t just help people make decisions—they help them make sense of their careers. What’s exciting is how AI can now enhance this process rather than replace it. Used well, AI can: Surface patterns and insights mentors might miss Personalize guidance at scale Free up time for deeper, more meaningful human conversations The real magic happens when human experience and AI intelligence work together. I’m especially proud to be collaborating on this work with partners David J.
