Organizational Mentoring





Mentoring is defined as a servant who desires to teach, monitor, and discover new methods on how to make others successful.  A mentor places their wants and desires second to the mentee.  That does not mean that the mentee needs are more important, but it means that the mentors’ pride must be in check once the mentee has achieved their goals.  The role of a mentor is a guide or a navigator and never a political force of negativity.
Picture the mentor as a parent who is teaching their child how to ride a bike for the first time.  The mentor sets the tone by counting and prepping the mentee to pedal when being pushed.  The mentor them pushes the bike while holding on to the seat until there is enough speed and then the mentor will let go.  This will then force the mentee to take on the tasks themselves with the mentor cheering in the background.  The underlining terms gives a description of how the relationship between and mentor and a mentee should be.
1.      Prepping – Getting the mentee to see the vision and the requirements that it will take to get to the end goal.
2.      Pedal – This the time in which the mentee and the mentor sits down and discuss goal setting and getting the plan in operational order before taking off or launching.
3.      Pushes – This is the time in which the plan is launched and the mentee need more support and encouragement to continue (fight, fight, fight!)
4.      Speed – As the mentor, you set the tone and the speed in which the mentee can accomplish the goal.  Some mentees learn faster than others; therefore, recognizing the mentees’ pedagogy levels is very important to prevent setback or stalls (audio, visual, kinetic).
5.      Let go – This is the time in which you can see the mentee demonstrate independence in judgement and in skill.
I hope that this message helps many people learn the art of becoming a mentor instead of a hindering force or just a person who gives advice.  Mentorship is a gift that must be carefully disseminated to fellow employees, students, etc in efforts to prevent a waste in time and efforts.

Take care and be in good health,

My Integral Assessment

During this weeks assignment, We are giving an inside revelation of our lives to the public regarding our assessment of how we view ourselves as a human being.  In our textbook Integral Health, The Path to Human Flourshing it talks about taking our past experience, our goals, and relationships with other people and make the moments positive instead of negative.   This textbook is a real eye opener to ourselves and the perception that other see in us.  It is essential that we fix our emotions, improve our physical state of health, and our prayer lives in order to direct other to live such a life that promotes a healthy lifestyle. After reading several chapter, I being to imagine how I was and what I can become as a son, an administrator and businessman, and a child of God.  How can I improve my relationship with other people? I would say that the areas that I will need to work on is organization skills and a positive outlook.  I am the...

Coping Skills and Stimulating Conversation

Happy Wellness to Everyone out there in Cyberland, Today is a day of rest for me and I need it. I am going to put somethings to the side for today and just mediate on good music as a coping skill. Have you ever just had a lot to do with super tight deadlines? Well folks that's me. Those that know me, know that I am a workaholic anyway, but today I am going to practice what I preach today. On the flip side, I was able to join in a stimulating conversation with a group of senior citizens at the Starbucks coffee shop about the upbringing of tomorrows generation. The subject was about children who panhandle to raise money for football and basketball activities. The seniors felt that the kids will become disadvantaged and become panhandlers in the future when times get tough. What do you think about it? Take care and be in good health.

The Healing Power of Flowers

Happy Wellness to Everyone, Did you know that flowers can promote healing. Flowers can filter the air especially when someone is ill, flowers may add a good aesthetic feel to the room to welcome peaceful energy, and flowers can even promote healing through the senses of the nostrils (aroma therapy). Flowers may also lower blood pressure, stress, and other chronic pathological diseases. I person ally enjoy flowers and enjoy having them around. Yes, I have other plants and I do talk to them. Call it strange but my plants live longer and they grow. Plants and flower do have the ability to feel happy, cry, and scream/warn other plants around them. Let you plants know what you are going to do and that you care. Try having flowers on your home. Take care and be in good health
