I have had the privilege of being a mentor, a mentee, and a facilitator of mentoring relationships. A new set of rewards unfolded from each experience, and now, I feel I have a better sense of appreciation for the benefits of mentorship in organizations and the true impacts experienced by everyone involved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In my time creating mentorship matching, it was essential for me to know the team members who were engaging. I had to learn what information was needed by those seeking to be mentored.\u00a0<\/p>

Then, I would find the person with the high-level knowledge of the business context, business acumen, and general organizational knowledge who could identify the staff member holding the required knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

As you begin to discover who makes up your teams and where their strengths lie, you can leverage that information to create sustainable knowledge foundations and expand them as needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      I\u2019ve been mentored by some of the smartest people I will ever meet and by some of the youngest, most promising talent industry will ever see. Each time, I had the privilege to learn from someone who had the knowledge that I lacked or who was able to shine a light on my blind spots.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

      Whether I sought long or short-term mentorships, I was always able to establish a trusted allyship and to receive guidance I would not have received if I had not sought it out.<\/p>

      The ability to see outside yourself is invaluable. Mentorship gives us the opportunity to grow personally and professionally while targeting that growth to make it more effective.\u00a0<\/p>

      I<\/strong> have never felt so driven as when I knew someone was cheering me on, supporting my journey, genuinely wanting to see me succeed, AND willing to share a part of themselves to see that happen.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        As someone who has been asked to offer guidance, to listen, to advise, and to counsel, I can honestly say that I\u2019ve received as much knowledge, if not more, than I\u2019ve imparted. By engaging in a sharing of knowledge, you are given the opportunity to support another individual while they quietly teach you more about yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

        In mentoring others, I have become a better leader, a better recruiter, and a better human being capable of more empathy than I ever thought possible. You learn so much more about yourself in leading and guiding others than in the formal actions of most managerial tasks.\u00a0<\/p>

        My ability to communicate flexibly and clearly has improved by communicating with others who have vastly different or eerily similar experiences to my own, always taking a piece of their journey with me as we part ways.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
