Gathering my girls this year has been nothing short of amazing. Everyday is an adventure, from our deep discussions, conflict resolution, shopping trips, cooking lessons, workshops and projects, I promise you there is never a dull moment. As much as I pour into them they pour right back into me.
✨Lessons I’ve learned mentoring:
💎 ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO LISTEN THAN TO INSTRUCT – Active listening promotes trust and respect. You can’t change anyone, but you can listen and that can change everything.
💎 TRUST IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY SKILL, ABILITY, OR KNOWLEDGE – Trust is the foundation that everything else is built on. It helps people feel safe and comfortable, increases morale, and creates a culture of teamwork and respect.
💎 POINT THE WAY, BUT LET THEM LEAD – Help them come up with their own solutions, it builds self confidence.
💎 MENTORSHIP IS A 2 WAY STREET – Strengthen your skills. Gain new perspectives. Remind yourself to follow your own advice.
💎 BE PASSIONATE – Let your enthusiasm and passion shine and help them tap into their own.
💎 REMEMBER YOUR WHY – I want these girls to stand up to things that I have never done because they will be more confident than I was.
💎 ASK LOTS & LOTS OF QUESTIONS
✨ And Most Important ✨
💎 HAVE FUN‼️
