✨ What Makes a Great Mentor or Leader? It’s All About Empowering Others ✨ Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of running a training session for this years incredible mentors on the Good Nugget Kickstart Programme. It reinforced a simple truth: great mentorship—and leadership—is about empowering others to reach their potential. Here are the top five key takeaways: Active Listening is a Superpower 🦸♀️ 🦸♂️ – It’s not just about talking; it’s about really listening. The best mentors? They tune into their mentees and respond with clarity and care. Emotional Intelligence is Essential 💡 – Mentorship goes beyond professional advice. Being a mentor means recognising and navigating emotions—yours and theirs. It’s all about empathy and knowing when to step in, or sometimes, when to step back. Problem-Solving is a Skill You Sharpen 🧩 – Mentors don’t just provide solutions; they help mentees think critically, trust their intuition and find their own way forward. This strengthens your own decision-making and leadership. Mentorship Expands Your Network 🌱 - Building relationships with mentees often opens doors to new connections and insights, enriching your personal and professional circles. Self-Awareness Leads to Growth 🚀 – Every session with a mentee reflects something back to you. It’s not just about helping them grow; it’s about your growth too. Great mentors and leaders guide with a conscious heart and a rebel mind—leading with empathy, intention, and a commitment to empowering others. And part of that commitment means creating inclusive environments where diverse talent can thrive, feel valued, and contribute their unique strengths. Let’s continue to foster growth, embrace diversity, and lead with purpose. #Mentorship #NexGenTalent #Empathy #Intention #InclusiveLeadership #GivingBack

Speaking to Groups that SPARKLE make my day! I had the honor of being the Keynote Speaker for the Awards Dinner for SUNY Adirondack TRIO SSS (Student Support Services), and what I continue to learn about growth-focused work cultures whether corporate, academic, non-profit, start-up is three things that are always present: 1) Celebrating People and Team's SuperPowers where they are right now. 2) Creating an infrastructure to support their development not just professionally but also personally. 3) Noticing their wins and challenges and putting structures in place to keep the momentum going. Bonus: Create a fun vibe to do all three! One of the things I love about working with groups and individuals is that I learn so much about people and what environments allow us to thrive. To me, it comes down to three things; clarity, support, and accountability! When you do all three your teams will want to stick around and thrive! Special kudos and thanks to SUNY Adirondack, Reburta Moffitt and Chelsea Foster. So great to meet @Data Murdie, a new college graduate who is rocking it on so many levels! Plus so great to see my bud, Brandon K. Aldous who is doing awesome work in the vocational and skill set space at SUNY Adirondack! Sparkle ON! #motivationalspeakernyc #resiliencyspeakernyc #executivecoach #Courage2SparkleLady

🌱 What Makes a Great Mentor or Leader? 🌱 In the creative industry—and any field—mentorship isn’t just about guidance, it’s about empowering others. Here are some key takeaways from our mentor training with Dipti Shah: 🔑 Active Listening Great mentors don’t just hear words—they understand the emotions and ideas behind them. Being present and fully engaged makes all the difference 🤝 Foster Independence Mentors inspire confidence by encouraging mentees to find their own solutions, building trust and lifelong skills 📚 Share Your Story The best leaders share their own experiences—successes and failures—to inspire growth and reflection 🛠️ Set Clear Expectations Whether it’s a quick chat or a deep session, setting boundaries and goals helps mentees stay on track In a world of constant change, leading with empathy and intention is more important than ever 🌟 How are you inspiring growth in your team? #Mentorship #Leadership #ActiveListening #Empowerment #GoodNugget

I am thrilled that the case "Will LinkedIn Learning Disrupt the Education Landscape" which I co-authored with the IMD Executive MBA participants Maxim Kolesnik, Mario Perez, and Dominik Reinhard, EMBA is included in the Bestselling Cases list of 2023. I regularly teach this case to illustrate how Value Constellation can be used to illustrate co-creation of value between many partners, and to show that many resources that customers, suppliers, channel members, etc. exchange or non-monetary. In fact, in most cases, it's the exchange of non-monetary resources that causes a commercial transaction. We are in good company as the case "Future-proofing HEINEKEN: The EverGreen Strategy" by my IMD colleague Niccolò Pisani also made it to the list. https://lnkd.in/dXM2fGZm
