Developing a Mentorship Mindset - Demonstrate Personal Success in the Areas of Mentorship

 To have a mentoring mindset you have got to always add value to others. To have the correct mindset around this is to believe this is an opportunity and not just a task to accomplish.  Do you see adding value to others as something you have to do?  Or are you treating it as a discipline or a task to check off the list?  Or, are you approaching adding value to others as an opportunity?  Because it is a tremendous opportunity to be a driving force in your organization and frankly in your legacy as well.

Demonstrating personal success in the area of mentorship is about giving a return on time to those who mentor us.  There needs to be a 'return on investment' established in mentorship.  And an expectation that on a regular basis the mentee will be providing examples of how they have applied what they are learning and gaining from the mentor.  This adds value both ways and keeps the mentorship productive and demonstrated on a consistent basis.  

Mentorship is a commitment of giving a return on time to those who mentor us and expecting a return on time from those we mentor.  We need to be able to demonstrate a return both ways for those we are in mentoring relationships with.
