Work Culture Starts in the Basement with Giulia Scalaberni | E3

You said a really a lot of awesome things there.

I think I think the first that really struck me was talking about how there's no checklist for good leadership.

Right.

And when someone comes to you, of course, you can share information, but it's a totally different thing to take that knowledge and to go and for someone to really engage in that information and turn it into their own leadership practice.

And it's such a valuable point that you bring up about finding these good mentors who are willing to just selflessly give us, you know, these masterclasses right on the side where we learn so much and finding the ideal mentor is so valuable.

Sometimes you can learn more from, you know, five hours next to one mentor than you can from an entire year with

one.

one else, right.

Who's not, who's not a good fit.

And so, you know, what, what a valuable thing.

If you have, if someone's out there right now and they don't have a mentor, you know, and they really wanted one, you know, aside from reaching out to you or me and saying, Hey, you know, what information, cause we're great.

Um, what information, you know, would you, would you have for me? Right.

I think reading and listening is always an awesome place to start, but what would you tell them on how to find a good mentor?

Well, I can tell you for sure, speaking about Italy, I know that there are a lot of organizations, for example, there are now different channels like social, Instagram, LinkedIn, that are trying to match mentors and mentee.

I am part of one of these organizations, which is focused on women.

Okay.

So mentors for women, because it's also true that sometimes we find a gap in the rooms we are in discussing about women and men.

So my advice is to look for some organization.

Another thing that I recently experienced and I think is very valuable is to attend events.

So I think it's a lot underrated about the value to go to event just as an attendee, you don't need to to have the aim to speak or do something much.

But going there, if you are in tech, there are a lot of community events about, you know, tech people.

Maybe it's a speech about technology, but you can meet with people from different companies, from different organizations.

Of course, it will be leaders, it will be people coding.

So you can start to have an exchange about what you are living at your life, at your workplace.

And sometimes you can understand that, the struggles you have are the same for a lot of people.
