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,

The Sudtle Mind

Take and deep breath and let it out very slowly now open your eyes and ask yourself how do I feel?  Breathing, we take it for granted every time we take in a deep breath.  We tend to not think about it until we are no longer able to do it on our own.  Breathing is an essential part of our relaxation and calmness in our everyday lives, we are not just aware of it.  Breathing is the focal point of our health and wellness and in other activities such as mediation, yoga, and prayer.  I really feel that the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of a person are one.  There is no one person that can live without one of these points in life.  I believe as a caregiver and administrator that if a patient lacks a positive attitude and holds frustration, anger, and unforgiveness the patient will present with sickness and disease. In the CD from Integral Health, The Path to Human Flourishing written by E. Dacher, focuses on breathing and letting of all the tr...

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...
