How do You Select a Mentor?
Season 2; Episode 6
Awakened early by the CALL to ACT! Since Sunday, I have been heavy hearted by two mentoring sessions I was able to offer, on my own time. I loved it! These sessions reminded me that now more than ever, in these trying times, many of us are faced with anxiety over the unknown, struggling with feelings of being disconnected, and/or overwhelmed with virtual meetings and engagements. Some of us simply want to talk to someone about our feelings, families or careers. Throughout the test of time, people have proven to be the greatest resource. This time is no different. We must lean on each other, with a strong sense of compassion and empathy, and embrace the richness associated with the diversity of mentorship. Mentorship is the gift that keeps on giving…one person at a time. I cannot over emphasize the benefits I received, and continue to receive through the beauty of mentoring. I can say I would not be where I am in my life or career without amazing mentors, some whom do and did not look like me. My request of you today, is please do not stay stuck. FIND a mentor, and more importantly BE a mentor. We ALL have something to offer! Stay lifted and Stay Blessed! Adrienne So, I was asked… If you enjoy these video vignettes, subscribe to my YouTube channel.
