MINDSET MONDAY
We've said it before and we'll say it again, a true mentorship is about guiding, teaching, listening and encouraging. It should NOT be about dictating everything a person does.
This is an important message, we cannot count how many clients we have worked with who have been bullied by their torMENTORS.
Mentoring does not mean:
👎Control of where you choose to get a dog
👎Lifetime loyalty to a person who sold you a dog one time
👎Absolute allegiance to a person's ideas and opinions
👎Never developing your own thoughts, opinions and ideas
The best mentors are the ones who:
👍Do such a good job of teaching and guiding that you develop your own opinion
👍Encourage growth and development
👍Support without force and pressure
👍Listen
👍Have enough faith in their own teaching and knowledge that they are proud of their mentees growth
👍Are still learning themselves and understand that there is always more to learn
Be sure that your mentorship relationship is one that is mutually beneficial, open and honest and most of all encouraging and positive.
