mindful mentorship™

We all know someone in our lives who has potential and needs support. We all know someone we admire and we’d like to ask for guidance. However, we often feel like we do not have the tools, experience, or courage to offer that support or ask for that guidance.

My experience teaching and working with young people has solidified my belief that mentorship is vital to individuals and our society as a whole. That said, people of all ages crave and need a mentoring relationship.

Mindful Mentorship™ provides what you need to make the offer or ask. It provides a framework and structure for individuals, groups and organizations to begin productive and intentional mentorship and leadership programs.

Some aspects of the Mindful Mentorship™ include:

• Moving while meeting. Movement opens up our bodies and minds. Movement allows emotions to flow through us more easily, and we often get to the “heart” of the discussion more quickly when moving, whether it be small, simple movements or a long hike.

• Getting out in nature while moving, if at all possible. Nature calms and focuses us.

• Beginning and ending each session with a mindfulness meditation and integrating mindfulness practices into discussions.

• Continual reflection, integration and growth.

Everyone deserves to be seen, to have their potential noticed, to be lifted up and supported in a purposeful way, AND everyone is capable of offering support to others. Sometimes, we just need a clear first step. This is it!

“...I saw the benefits of more formal mentoring first hand. I knew from my own life experience, that when someone shows genuine interest in your learning and development, even if only for ten minutes in a busy day, it matters. It matters especially for women, for minorities, for anyone society is quick to overlook.”
-Michelle Obama, Becoming

“I define a leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.”
- Brené Brown, Dare to Lead

“It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers, and the creators. They are the magic people of the world.”
-Amy Poehler, Smart Girls: Ask Amy
