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,

Personal Journey

When I was assigned this exercise assignment i was not to trilled.  I really had no words for the audience in reference to my personal life.  I am in the public eye on a daily bases and wanted to prove a part of me as civil as I can be with respect to Kaplan University.   I took a shot at being open and relaxed when providing information to the public about how I feel about my life both past and present.  I have the most wonderful classmates that also helped me to realize that they are human also and able to make themselves varniable to heal from past and present hurts. I read the class assignment and realized that out of all of the sessions that we have had loving-kindness is the biggest one on my list.  As a Health care Administrator, I am emotionally comforting the patients and families during a trail in their lives.  In my career I use to think it is me that will keep a level head and not realizing that I too have feeling that needed to be addres...

My Goals for the Season

Have you ever asked yourself could my health get better? or how can I improve my life?  I am guilty of asking myself these questions over and over daily.  Most consumers believe that if something is wrong with me then there must be a pill or tonic to cure it.  In some cases there may not be such a quick cure to our problems.  I took those questions and with the help of my instructor, I being to think about rating my current status both physically, mentally, and most important spiritually.  I want you as the audience to do the same too.  By sitting in a quite room and with a honest opinion look at your current status and rate it from 1 to 10 (1=terrible - 10 best).  I rate myself current health status as a 8 because of the common cold, stress of running a company, and family.  These many also be hidden stressors for you also.  I have acknowledged the fact that somethings in my life also needs work just as any human on the face of the eart...
