Season 2 Episode 14: (Bonus!) Mentoring to Shape the Future
Focus of the Week: Build relationships so that you and others grow.
Mentoring shapes the future by building relationships where all of us grow. A mentoring relationship is transformational to the person being mentored and the mentor. Especially as we practice building trust, mutual sharing, challenging and encouraging.
Notes
Mentoring is a short- or long-term relationship where an experienced mentor guides a mentee's personal and professional development through mutual sharing, support and insights.
Some of the important skills and practices for mentoring include:
- Building Trust - To build trust we practice being fully present and listen actively, demonstrate respect and empathy, and share authenticity and vulnerability.
- Mutual Sharing- We grow deeper in our mentoring journey by learning from them.
- Bringing on the Challenge - I want you to grow by calling others to greatness. Stop shying away from your gift. Point out examples of greatness. And confront the lack of passion, effort, and growth areas directly.
- Ongoing Encouragement - We all need 3 times as much positive communication and encouragement to balance out the negative voices and challenges.
