Hello All, How do I write this without tooting my own horn? I’ll just write it anyway. All my life, I’ve had people tell me that I am composed and well mannered, I behave maturely and professionally, I display decorum, firmness and comportment (I laugh so hard on the inside, because I know I am a complete goofball 😅). I know some of you are already rolling your eyes 😂 and I would too, but it’s the truth. People say this matter-of-factly and sometimes they don’t even mean for it to be a compliment. So, when people seriously ask me how I am this way, I respond truthfully… I’ve had the privilege of leaning on and learning from my models/mentors. I’ve had the wisdom of an experienced person because every step of the way, I have had the guidance of an experienced person. Some of my friends have argued that it’s easy for me to be this way, because I have access to these models/mentors I speak of. And when I think of it, they’re right, the sheer proximity and access I have to my models/mentors have been so beneficial for my growth. So, imagine how I felt when I found out about Mentor Intro Africa and the virtual platform they have built to aid proximity and access to mentors and industry experts. Then I go on their website and imagine my joy when I see the caliber of mentors already assembled, to also discover some of my own models/mentors on there as well. According to Pastor Bolaji Idowu (Harvesters), there are three (3) benefits to a close mentorship relationship: 1. They inspire confidence in you. 2. They help you avoid mistakes they made. 3. They add speed to you because they can tell you how fast to get “there”. I was amazed to also learn that this platform is valuable to everyone, not only young-mid level professionals and entrepreneurs… even Senior Management and Retirees or those planning, “what’s next after corporate success”. You could connect with Mentors here who could help you work through what that next phase could look like. Sometimes, all we need is access and information. So, thank you so much Mentor Intro Africa for doing this! #mentorship #mentorshipprogram #growthmindset #development #africa #technology https://lnkd.in/gG7U5jE5
