Last night I had dinner with one of my mentoring partners just to check in. As I reflected on the outing, I thought about what made my partnerships so effective (I have 3 wonderful mentoring partners). They all include GROWTH principles...
G-Genuine Interest: We are genuinely interested in continuous self-development.
R-Reciprocal Relationships: We learn from each other.
O-Ongoing Dialog: We share our successes and failures and view them as opportunities to learn.
W-Work Together: We are committted to working together as a team.
T-Trust: We trust each other with information that we share.
H-Heightened Potential: We inspire each other to stretch and grow personally and professionally.
Anyone who is interested and passionate about learning needs multiple mentoring partners if they want to continue to grow...that's why I have 3!!!
Here's an article about mentoring partnerships (One of my mentoring partners and I are participating in the program that's featured in the article!)...
