Answers and suggestions/ comments are all welcome thank you and best wishes ahead.

End of semester Exams preparations for me right now....

 Mentoring as a source of motivation and problem solutions
(see the video insert)

Mentoring in the 21^st century

The essence of mentoring refers to the strategic intent to increase leadership capability through mentoring and indeed, technology is at the heart of this guided learning experience

An essential part of the solution was the need to reduce the time spent away from work, removing the need for travel and providing instantaneous support.

The challenges were overcome by introducing technology to enable a just-in-time approach and provide an instant connection and reliable service.

This overall concept was the new e-mentoring paradigm.

At the heart of e-mentoring model was the use of web enabled and mobile technology, which would facilitate speed learning…any time…anywhere!

Mentees tend to improve their self-confidence and self-awareness through mentoring / e-mentoring.

e-Mentoring / Mentoring develop a coaching culture, enrich team-work ethics and indeed shared learning concept.

You don’t need a man, you need a CHAMPION

Some have careers outside the home and some don’t, but the common denominator is at some point they have concluded it’s not enough – they are not happy.

Beginning somewhere around adolescence, there are two developmental phases that people must navigate.

First is that of discovering and forming own unique identity.

Second is that of learning to have relationships and developing the capacity for intimacy.

As a matter of fact, different sexes react and conform differently, the males react well with the first one where are the females are good with the second one.

“If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds to live together in the same world at peace.” – Franklin D. Rooseveldt

The importance of the aspect of mentoring / e-mentoring with reference to direct human relationships cannot be over-emphasized.

eMentoring Concept

The above terms have great meaning if not impact.
Over the years, MENTORING has been simplified and the practical rationale all have been well-articulated in all spheres of life.

Mentoring has also embraced technological revolution of the 21st century with eMentoring, which refers to providing a guided relationship using online software or email and its sometimes referred to as Web-based  eMentoring.

eMentoring Software allows for both the mentor and the mentee to log into a secure online environment where they can converse under supervision of moderators and coordinators.

Hi there my esteemed Blog Readers

The LAW of Magnetism
''We attract who we are, not who we want".

You grow your institution or business by growing the people's capacity through well set mentoring programmes.

Successful leaders discovered what other people are good and steer them in the desired direction through mentoring.

In the the final analysis, leadership is influence in the form of a mentoring relationship between a significant well experienced mentor with an upcoming inexperienced mentee / protege.

Inspired by John Maxwell.

Blessed Reading Ahead....

Good Day Everyone.

"A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself". Oprah Winfrey.


Mentorship is such a phenomenon that they have dedicated a whole month of January as in the USA it is celebrated and honoured as "National Mentoring Month" and in so doing, in the state of Mennesota, they have established an association "Mentor Partnership Mennesota".

Finding A Mentor

Sure, a good education and talent are keys to building a successful career. But for most people, school is over and the parameters of their talent were set on the day they were born. So what can you do now to get ahead? Get a mentor. In fact, get a stable of mentors for guidance on multiple aspects of your career.

“Executives who have had mentors have earned more money at a younger age,” writes Gerard Roche, senior chairman at the recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles. Additionally, his research shows “those who have had mentors are happier with their career progress and derive greater pleasure from their work.” The majority of executives had mentors in their first five years of their career.

But finding a mentor is not easy. For a lucky few, mentors can be found through a privileged network of relatives, family friends or your parents’ business associates. For everyone else, the search requires patience, a clear focus and the self-confidence to be a nudge. “Not everyone can depend on nepotism,” says Alisyn Camerota, New York-based correspondent for Fox News. “I got where I am by turning reluctant people into active mentors.”

The easiest way to create allies is to build a reputation as an overachiever. That’s what Camerota did during an internship early on in her career at a Washington, D.C. –based news bureau. After earning the respect of her boss throughout the summer, came to rely on her for advice and support. Eventually Camerota felt empowered enough to walk into her office and say, “My internship ends in a week and I don’t have a job. Can I have all your contacts?” She said yes. Camerota copied the whole Rolodex onto a legal pad by hand and cold called the contacts until someone agreed to interview her. Those calls later led to a full-time job.

Mentors aren’t just important for those starting out. They’re essential to rising through the ranks, too. “Obtaining a mentor is an important career development experience for individuals. Research indicates that mentored individuals perform better on the job, advance more rapidly within the organization (i.e., get promoted more quickly and earn higher salaries), report more job and career satisfaction,” says Lillian Eby, professor of applied psychology at the University of Georgia.

As Camerota’s career progressed, she realized her main goal was to be a broadcast journalist. More specifically, she wanted to be in front of the camera. But for two years, she was stuck behind the scenes for “America’s Most Wanted.” That changed when Lance Heflin, the shows executive producer, became her mentor.

Camerota’s tactic of working hard and asking specific questions made Heflin aware that she was coach-able and focused on her career, attributes that attract the best sort of mentor. So by the time Camerota asked Helfin to help her got on-camera, he told her that if she was willing to do the work, he would help.

Camerota spent the next six months making terrible tapes. Heflin’s coaching started with her appearance: “Do not wear green ever again. Do you ever see people wearing green on TV?” Then he moved to more nuanced tips: “Treat the camera like it’s your friend,” he told her. And he showed her a tape from a broadcaster he liked, walking through a house as he talked to the camera, making the audience feel like they were right there with him. The duo went through countless such show and tell sessions. And every now and then, Helfin would say, “Stop. Rewind.” And he’d go back to where Camerota smiled at someone or looked at the camera and raised an eyebrow. “That’s where you threw a nickel through the screen,” Which was his way of saying, “Something came alive here.” You can’t ask for advice like that. You have to inspire it.

Camerota’s hard work and raw talent earned her an outstanding mentor who devoted a large amount of time and energy to showing her how to become a television reporter. Keep your eyes open for someone who loves to help people grow.

There are more of those people than you’d think and they may need you, too. “Both mentors and protégés report benefiting from mentoring relationships,” writes Eby. Make your move now. Test the waters with a few people who seem like they might be good mentors. Ask specific questions, and heed the advice. You might find you get more than you asked for.

Blessed Day to Y'All ...

"Searching for a mentor is similar to searching for a spouse: you two need to share common values, concerns, experiences, communication style, and of course, have time to invest into meaningful conversation with one  another ."
Anna Steven (Turn your Dreams and Wants into Achievable Smart Goals).

need i say more....

"Just about any personality trait or skill can be learned: simply find it in someone you know and copy it. Then watch what happens." Steve Goodier

Mentoring, as some experts put it 'Life Coaching', helps to fast track forward personally and professionally through tangible inspirations like their success  adventurous  stories.
Nothing brings about success like walking through the right doors because the mentors ought to know what it takes to succeed.

In a nutshell, today the lines between mentoring and networking are blurred, thus, welcome to the world of mentworking as suggested by Julie Winkle Guilioni.
