Why I Mentor on MentorCruise: A Global Platform for Real Career Growth
By Digby R. Kerr · Kerr University™ · All Articles
A few years ago, a man in Singapore messaged me about a promotion he was about to interview for. We had never met. He had found my profile, read through my background at FedEx, UPS, XPO, and CEVA, and booked a session for the following morning — his evening, my morning, two time zones and an ocean apart.
That session is one of the reasons I joined MentorCruise. Thirty-five years in global logistics taught me that good advice doesn't care about geography, and neither should access to it.
Why MentorCruise
I considered a few platforms before choosing MentorCruise, and the decision came down to one thing: the people who use it are serious. They're not browsing. They've identified a specific problem — a promotion, a career pivot, a difficult negotiation, a business they're trying to get off the ground — and they're looking for someone who has actually navigated it before.
That matches how I prefer to work. I'm not interested in generic advice sessions. I'm interested in the specific situation in front of you, this week, and what you can do about it by next week.
What a Session Actually Looks Like
1. We start with the real problem, not a general "tell me about your career" conversation. If you're preparing for a negotiation on Thursday, we spend the session on Thursday.
2. You leave with something to do. Every session ends with one or two specific actions — not vague encouragement, but the next concrete step.
3. Ongoing mentorship is available for people working through something bigger than a single conversation — a career transition, building a business, or developing executive presence over months rather than minutes.
Who this is for: Professionals and entrepreneurs anywhere in the world who have a real situation in front of them and want a direct, experienced perspective — not a script.
The bottom line: Good mentorship shouldn't depend on which city you happen to live in. That's the whole reason I'm there.
