Mentorship comes in many flavours. My mentoring program will cover the following options:

1. One-on-One Mentoring – Personalized guidance tailored to your goals.
2. Peer Mentoring – Learning and growing through shared experiences.
3. Group Mentoring – Collaborative discussions that inspire collective success.
4. Flash Mentoring – Quick, impactful sessions focused on immediate insights.

Guiding Principles of My Mentorship Program

1. Building a Strong Mentor-Mentee Relationship

Mentorship should be more than a checkbox exercise. True mentorship thrives on authentic connections. Research by mentoring expert Belle Rose Ragins highlights that mentorship is only effective when a genuine rapport exists between mentor and mentee. Without this foundation, even the most structured programs fail to make a real difference.

To foster this connection, I prioritize building trust and understanding before formal mentorship begins. When mentors and mentees relate on a personal level, they move beyond roles and titles, creating an environment where true learning and growth can flourish.

2. Focusing on Strengths Over Skills

Many mentoring programs center on developing job skills, but true mentorship goes deeper. While technical competencies are important, great leaders recognize that character, values, self-awareness, empathy, and respect are the real cornerstones of success.

My approach focuses on enhancing these core qualities, helping mentees become not just skilled professionals but well-rounded individuals. By fostering self-awareness and emotional intelligence, I aim to equip mentees with the tools to navigate both their careers and life with confidence.

3. Leading with Optimism

A mentor should be an energy giver, not an energy taker. Mentees often bring unconventional ideas or ambitious goals that may seem unrealistic at first. Instead of immediately critiquing them, I practice the 24×3 Rule for Optimism—spending 24 seconds, 24 minutes, or a full day considering all the reasons an idea could work before assessing its flaws.

The world often rewards conventional failure over unconventional success, but great mentorship encourages exploration of new possibilities. By fostering optimism, I aim to inspire mentees to push boundaries and think beyond limitations.

4. Championing the Mentee’s Agenda

The best mentors understand that leadership is about service to others. My goal is not only to identify my mentees’ strengths but also to uncover their passions and help them align with their true calling.

Mentorship should extend beyond career guidance—it should provide the same level of trust and support we seek from close friends, family, and mentors outside the workplace. By prioritizing my mentee’s best interests, I aim to serve as more than just a career guide but as a trusted advocate for their overall growth.

5. Respecting the Mentee’s Aspirations

A good mentor doesn’t impose their vision on a mentee but instead helps them pursue their own dreams. If a mentee’s role isn’t the right fit or if their career path has limited opportunities within a company, a mentor should support their transition—whether that means shifting to a different role or exploring new opportunities elsewhere.

At its core, mentorship is about being a good person and genuinely investing in the growth and success of others.
