「ロールモデルがいない」への、ひとつの答え｜モザイク型という考え方

Have you ever felt like you "don't have a role model"? Even when you see a perfect senior colleague featured in the company newsletter, their circumstances are so different that it doesn't resonate. Social media is filled with glittering glimpses of other people's lives.

Many people are probably wondering, "How do I find a role model?" This episode is about May, who, looking back, never had a "reachable, readily available example" at any stage of her career, and how she naturally arrived at a way of engaging with role models.
