Have you had the fortune of a mentoring relationship? It’s such a rewarding experience for the mentee, the mentor, the organizations/businesses in which the mentee and mentor serve. It affords the opportunity to:
• Pay forward the experiences we’ve had with mentors
• Empower others to gain clarity in their passions and aspirations for a gratifying career
• Support others in their personal and professional growth, including guidance through difficult conversations and experiences
• Share our experience and expertise
• Expand our sphere of influence
With appreciation for the value of mentoring (for both mentees and mentors), I routinely recommend mentorship for those I work with (Coaching, Counseling, Consulting and Networking).
• Mentorship offers support and guidance for those within organizations who do not have a formal mentoring program
• Mentorship sparks continued learning
• Mentorship enhances interpersonal and relationship stewardship skills
• Mentorship expands insights and perspectives
• Mentorship elevates visibility in the community
• Mentorship fosters expanded professional network connections and relations, including other mentors with whom to gain support and idea sharing
• Mentorship strengthens leadership skills
• Mentorship fosters resiliency to keep focused on aspirations and move beyond challenges
I was fortunate to work with Natalie during the inaugural cohort of the Western New York Women’s Foundation’s Ready, Set, Lead program.
