[[Be yourselves, together]]. - "[[A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself]]". - "[[Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and to push in the right direction.]]" ## Notes - [[Time together is the most important]]. - Take time during working/effective hours. - Recognize biases and that they are their own person with thoughts, experiences and opinions. - [[It isn't up to you as the mentor to change or override who they are, but rather to help them become a better and truer version of themselves]]. In the process, you may also discover aspects of yourself in which you can grow. - [[To mentor is to shine a light to help them see more of the world and more of themselves]]. - Work together as a team - as equals. - Provide them with guidance, but always give them the power of choice. - Translate years of experience to advice, which may save hours of headaches and heartaches. - The goal isn't to prevent failure, but to [[Provide guardrails and grace to potential failure]], and to provide support to help them rise and try again. - [[Always be yourself]]. [[Be yourselves, together]]. - [[Never let ego stand in the way of success]]. - "[[A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself]]". - Oprah Winfrey. - "[[Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and to push in the right direction.]]" - John C.
