I have provided mentoring at work and outside of work for many years. I am getting ready to add two additional mentees,… one at my credit union (Mazuma Credit Union) and another from a small credit union in Texas through America’s Credit Union’s Council Mentor Match Program. There are many professionals out there who want to pay forward the mentoring that others invested in them. If you want to grow and develop, I would suggest taking to heart the advice in this article,… identify your goals and who might help you achieve them. #mentoring

January was established as National Mentoring Month in 2016 by President Obama. It’s a time to spread awareness and encourage mentoring relationships. My experience is that people desire mentoring, but expect someone else to facilitate matching and cultivating the relationship. This article offers step by step guidance, including email templates. I’ll definitely tuck this away for future use. #mentoringmatters #ownyourcareer

I really enjoyed this article from HBR and author Janet Phan. There are some practical and helpful tips for those seeking to connect with a mentor. In today’s day in age where we are so much more virtual, it can be intimidating for those seeking mentorship to reach out to potential mentors, especially if lacking an existing personal connection. My recommendations: 🌟 Take advantage of existing mentorship programs available to you; it takes pressure off mentees by either being assigned a mentor or being put in a situation to pick your mentor from a pool of people who are primed and looking to mentor others. 🌟 Believe that, as a mentee, you also have something to offer a mentor. Whether it’s helping grow their networks (we all know different people), introducing them to new ideas and perspectives, or giving them the opportunity to hone their emotional intelligence, active listening, or leadership skills, mentors are growing and learning while mentoring. Mentors can get as much out of this relationship as mentees. 🌟 Pay it forward and mentor someone yourself. You have something to offer someone else as a mentor, whether it’s a peer, someone more new to their career journey, or someone with more experience looking to gain from the perspective of a reverse mentor (someone newer to their role/industry than themselves). You gain confidence by doing, so once you start mentoring someone else, you will see how much you gain as a mentor and get perspective on the best ways to reach out to others and the most helpful questions to ask a mentor yourself. WIN-WIN-WIN! 💫 #mentorshipmatters #mentor #mentee
