Why every successful Wedding Pro has a Mentor

written by

Today is the last episode of our wedding and event career series and we will be discussing the benefits of a wedding industry mentor.
I don’t know if you saw the film ‘The Intern’ with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway when it came out a few years ago, but I learnt so much from that movie. One of the things that struck me with this film was the generation gap between the two main characters and how it proves that your mentor could be anyone of any age or experience.
In this episode of Academy TV, we give you some great insights on how to get a mentor and why they will help you be a more successful wedding professional.

If you are interested in finding mentoring support for your wedding business check out Academy CEO Kylie’s new venture as she continues to educate and support creative entrepreneurs in the wedding and event industry and beyond. You can find out more about how Kylie can help you launch and grow your business, along with free advice via her Creative Business TV Show, over on her website.
Your perfect mentor may be out there, so reach out, start up a conversation and see where it takes you!
