Mentor Council
I developed Mentor Council to create an environment in which people inspire and encourage each other in their professional pursuits. It has exceeded my expectations and been extremely gratifying to both me and the others involved.
What is Mentor Council?
Mentor Council consists of a small group of professionals who get together for 1.5 hours every two weeks for three months.
Why is Mentor Council Useful?
Your career, emotions, finances, beliefs and relationships are all inter-related. This group will help you identify your strengths and support you in the improvement of your weaknesses. You decide what you want the group to support you in achieving. It may be helping you to reach your sales quota, helping you take some steps toward a new career or helping you stop procrastinating on something that is important to your life.
When a group of people focuses on a goal, you would be surprised by the information that is available and how the collective encouragement and wisdom can help you achieve outstanding results.
Example: After unsuccessfully trying to sell my Honda, I mentioned it to my group one morning. One person had an idea that resulted in me having a check in my hands two weeks later for the full amount of my asking price. I would have never known about this place. You cannot possibly know everything about everything - let others help you. Trust me, they will keep you on track too!
When you study great leaders you will find they have a group around them supporting them on a regular basis.
How is Mentor Group Structured?
Each Mentor Council is made up of a maximum of eight professionals from different disciplines. Often we get locked into thinking because of the industry we are presently working in - others may have a better way, a different perspective that can help us move forward.
I facilitate the meetings to assure that each individual has the opportunity to fully participate. Individuals can ask for what they need in support or offer ideas to solve an issue. Time permitting, I also share models for living a positive/healthy life.
The environment of Mentor Council is highly inspirational, safe, fun, positive and confidential.
