Finding good mentor is very hard if you don't have anyone in your close circle. I faced this problem 2 years back. I attended personal development session and one of the advise was to send email to ED's or MD's in your company whom you admire the most mentioning why and express your goal and seek for advise.
I emailed 5-8 ED's across the region. For my surprise, no one in my office location responded, all responses were from different region. We had short meeting and I got opportunity to continue be in touch with 2 of them. We have bi-weekly 1-1 meeting. I am not looking for any promotion for now, but these meetings boosting my confidence to another level and I feel growth in my personality and at work.
