I find that "getting" a mentor is _such_ a case of manifest destiny. It's about "showing up" extra around that person, asking for advice, being extra frank about the fact that you _want_ a mentor. I've had to make a conscious decision to seek out myriad mentors depending on which area I need guidance. None have just "happened." Maybe I'm just not "lucky" in my jobs! Janis –
