Because of the fact that I've never had 31 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: a guest on my show Money Making Conversation master Class 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: talking about mentorship and author the book about mentorship, give 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: us the motivation behind that. 34 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 4: Yes, and I'm so honored. I am honored to be here, 35 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 4: honors to discuss mentorship. It's so important. Well, I had 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 4: an HR software company called the Mentor Method that I 37 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 4: built for six years and we had incredible customers like 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 4: Amazon and Department of Education and others. And before then 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: I worked in defense contracting and management consulting. Oftentimes I 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: was left out as mentorship conversations because they were always 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 4: the old boys club and anytime I participated in a 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 4: corporate mentorship program. I was just matched to the only 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 4: underrepresented executive that also signed up for the program to 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 4: mentor someone, and I found that it wasn't just my 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 4: story that was impacted by this, but hundreds of thousands, 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 4: off not millions, of people experience the exact same thing. 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: And when you're working at a company and mentorship is 48 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: supposed to say I see you in this individual because 49 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: of your leadership traits, and instead of saying I don't 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,279 Speaker 4: see you at all, I just see you as a checkbox, 51 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 4: and I see your external factors such as age, race, 52 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: and gender. It hurts and it can be demoralizing. And 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: so I took those feelings and built my first company, 54 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: the mentor Method that matched people to mentors based on 55 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 4: industry skills, values, and their personality, and ninety percent of 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: the matches were in communication. Three years later, we saw 57 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: great success with it, and I've just been obsessed with 58 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: how people connect and engage and the way that's meaningful 59 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 4: and the way that built this joyful, passionate career that's 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 4: fulfilling for everyone, because it's the right We deserve to 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: feel good about the work that we do every day. 62 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: We deserve to feel good about the community that we're 63 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 4: building around us, and mentorship is one of the best 64 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 4: tools to make that happen. And so in my book 65 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 4: Mentorship Unlocked, besides started putting yourself up for success, I 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 4: take you through, step by step exactly how to build 67 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 4: that community and how to find the right mentors that 68 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 4: aligned to who you are versus what I had experienced 69 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 4: in my early corporate days of trying to fit into 70 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: a box or fit. 71 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: A mold rights what is a mentor. 72 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: A mentor is somebody that helps you become the best 73 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: possible version of yourself. It could be something in your career, 74 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: which is typically where we hear mentorship, and that's helping 75 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 4: you either refine a skill, get a promotion, enter into 76 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: a new company, get a new job. And this person 77 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: is exceptional at an area that you seek to develop in. So, 78 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 4: if you're an engineer and you want to learn a 79 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 4: very specific skill, you would find a mentor that can 80 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: help you become great at that. In your personal life, 81 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 4: this might be somebody that helps you learn more about 82 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 4: financial well being, or somebody that helps you get out 83 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: of a tough life situation where you can see yourself 84 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 4: becoming a different version of yourself thanks to their leadership. 85 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 4: A mentorship does not have to be older than you. 86 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 4: I have mentors that are several years younger. They don't 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: have to be in the same location. You can meet 88 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: them virtually, you can meet them in person. But it's 89 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 4: really boiled down to having the same value system and 90 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: being eager to learn from each other. 91 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 3: That's really important because of the fact that I always 92 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: tell people, you know, if you want to be a doctor, 93 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: you don't go to a mechanic for advice or mentorship. 94 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: You have to be aligned with you know, you have 95 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: to be aligned with that thought process because a lot 96 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: of people get bad advice because they're talking to the 97 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: wrong person. Or their dreams can be stymy because the 98 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 3: person who's telling you that's not your dream doesn't even 99 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: understand what you're talking about. And you know, sometimes I 100 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: remember early on in my career, Dennis, I was writing 101 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: on television, you know, tele sitcoms like Sister Sister, Jamie 102 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: Fox Show and The Monique Show, which was the Parker's 103 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: and people will ask me, individuals so chean, what do 104 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: you do? And I can never explain to them. Okay, 105 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: I go to work at ten, not just in the room, 106 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: just start pitching jokes and we write script and at 107 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: the end of the day, maybe ten hours later, we 108 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: have an episode. Now, if I'm telling that to somebody 109 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: who's not a right, they're looking to be like, that's it, 110 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 3: and they pay you money for that, so they become sarcastic. 111 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: So you have to be able to get a mentor 112 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 3: align yourself with somebody who understands that path correct. 113 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 4: One hundred percent. And you also want to make sure 114 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: that there is a strong values alignment and that that 115 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: mentor will not try to change you or fix you, 116 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: because that's actually not mentorship. They should be willing to 117 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 4: see who you are, what makes you unique, give you 118 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: the tools to augment. Obviously nobody's perfect. Help you refine 119 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 4: your documen, your strengths, things that you want to develop in. 120 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 4: But it's not meant to If you're a circle, they're 121 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 4: not going to try to make you a square or 122 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 4: a triangle. They will see that you're a circle and 123 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 4: make you the best possible circle there ever was. 124 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 3: It's really interesting, and again thank you Janis for coming 125 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 3: on the show, because a lot of people are listening 126 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 3: to the show and they've heard the word mentor, or 127 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 3: they want to seek somebody to be their mentor, or 128 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: they want to be a man and te they're just 129 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: trying to because in my role, like you know, you 130 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: can google me and people have always approached me about 131 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: mentoring them. Now that's key right there, because you know 132 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: you can approach me. That doesn't mean I'm going to 133 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: mentor you, because like you said earlier, it's about alignment. 134 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: It's about getting somebody who one has the time and 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: understands what your expectations out of their relationship because mentorship 136 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 3: or mentoring has to be a partnership. When you say. 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: That, absolutely it goes both ways. I have had relationships 138 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 4: where I was being mentored by somebody and now seven 139 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: years later, I'm mentoring them in a completely new realm 140 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: of our careers and it just ebbs and flows and 141 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: it's a really beautiful process when you can take your 142 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 4: walls down and be vulnerable and just learn from each other. 143 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 4: But that doesn't happen unless you have that alignment and 144 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: you feel emotionally and psychologically safe around each other, right you. 145 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: Know, because again as a female and I'm a male, 146 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: there are different roles we all play. Not saying that 147 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: a female can't have a male mentor, and a male 148 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: can't have a female malet. We need to make sure 149 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: we understand these values of trying to get information, trying 150 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: to get motivation, trying to get the next step. And 151 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: I think that when I look at my life and 152 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: I want to use my life as an example, is that, 153 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: like you said, people younger than you, I always tell 154 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: you people when I wake up, I try to I 155 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: always tell this phrase. I say to myself, I wake 156 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 3: up stupid. That way when I acknowledge myself is you know, 157 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: because what happens is you know, you don't want to 158 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: be the smartest person in the room. And if you 159 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 3: wake up saying, hey I'm stupid today, okay, so that 160 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: allows me to accept information, so I can be a 161 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 3: lot more, you know, toned down when the information comes 162 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 3: to I'm more accepting of it. Because when you become successful, 163 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 3: you tend to people tend to not want to give 164 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: you information because they think you know it already. And 165 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: so your success can also damage you from getting the 166 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: right people in your life as potential mentors who can 167 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: to take you to the next level. And I think 168 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: that you, as a successful person, do you not feel 169 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: that people think you know it all, that you're successful, janis. 170 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: One hundred percent. I wish you could see me nodding 171 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 4: right now. I almost broke my neck in agreeance. But 172 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: I think it's also our responsibility to share that we 173 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 4: don't know everything. I am the first person to go 174 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 4: out and ask anyone that is exceptional something that I'm 175 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: seeking to gain knowledge in and say, hi, I don't 176 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: know a thing about this skill. So, for example, I 177 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 4: started making videos for my Instagram and LinkedIn if you 178 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: follow me on either account on mentorship and career development, 179 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 4: and I'm really enjoying it, but I'm very intimidated at 180 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 4: first because that is not my natural wiring. I am 181 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: such an introvert. My favorite part of the week is Friday, 182 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: five pm and pajama watching the Great British Fakes Show. 183 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 4: So to learn how to make these videos and to 184 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 4: put myself out there, it required some peer mentorship where 185 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: I thought out advice and guidance from friends and colleagues 186 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 4: and friends of friends who are so exceptional and are 187 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: almost fearless in the way that they present themselves and 188 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 4: just learn I mean pages and pages of pages of 189 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 4: notes of how they do it. Their thought process everything 190 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: and now I'm very comfortable with it. But if I 191 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 4: didn't take the time to say, this is not me, 192 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 4: but I'm really learning, and how do I make this 193 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: something that feels like me and is naturally aligned to 194 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: my own personality but using the strengths and skills of 195 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: these peer mentors to really make it shine, I wouldn't 196 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: be doing that, and you and I may not be 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 4: connecting today. So I think there's a lot of value 198 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 4: in having this humility to say that you don't know everything, 199 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: still being confident, but also asking for help when needed 200 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 4: and being open to feedback from others to help you excel. 201 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: Wow, Grey, we're talking about mentorship.

If somebody starts shifting your value, start 240 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: shifting your dream they're not mentoring you anymore. They're guiding 241 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 3: you on a path that they feel comfortable or they 242 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: have time to deliver the information that they want to 243 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: give you.

So 277 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: there are seven types of mentors that I recommend you 278 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: have over the span of your career. We're not going 279 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 4: to hungry, hungry, get both this. I recommend no more 280 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: than three at a time, but across your career, I 281 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 4: recommend the following. So the first one is the company insider. 282 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 4: This person knows where all of the bodies are buried, 283 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 4: They know the ins and outs of the company, They 284 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 4: have tenure there, they know company politics, they've had a 285 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 4: history of experiencing either layoffs promotions. If you have a 286 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 4: question about how the company has been built and how 287 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 4: the culture has been established, that's the person you want 288 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 4: to go to. And those are the types of questions 289 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 4: to ask them. This skill master mentor could be inside 290 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: your company, could not be. But if you want to 291 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: get very if you want to gain experience and a 292 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: very specific skill, maybe it's creative writing or public speaking, 293 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: find somebody that's exceptional at that and have them help 294 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: you or find that acumen third is the money minded mentor. 295 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: Finances are very important and it's important nowadays to not 296 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 4: just be reliant upon your employer for your entire wealth 297 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 4: management process. So you have your farah one K, you 298 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 4: have your savings, but get a friend, get a mentor 299 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 4: that can help you understand the holistic view of your 300 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: financial landscape to help you reach your financial goals. Vollow 301 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 4: your less dependent on your employer, and it reduces your 302 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 4: likelihood of having a scarcity mindset. Very important. The first 303 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: one is the industry mentor whatever industry you're in. It 304 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: could be, you know, the creative field, it could be entrepreneurship. 305 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 4: Find somebody that is exceptional in your industry and gain 306 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: an understanding of how they've been able to build their 307 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 4: positive refugee.

The fifth is the network mentor. 312 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 4: I feel like this is probably you like this person 313 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 4: is the social butterfly knows everybody knows their dogs' names, 314 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 4: knows everything about everyone. This person will help you expand 315 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 4: your network and also teach you how to be yourself 316 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 4: while building a community that positively resonates with that because 317 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: you never know what you'll end up and again, you 318 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 4: don't want to be reliant on just one single employer. 319 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 4: You want to make sure that you have options whenever. 320 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 3: You need them. 321 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 4: Sixth is the influential Ally, this person will put their 322 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 4: name and their reputation behind you, and whatever they say 323 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 4: goes and holds a lot of weight. So if you're 324 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: inside an organization, this is the person who's referral and 325 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: recommendation sets you at the top of the list for 326 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 4: a promotion process and interview doesn't mean that you'll necessarily 327 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: get it, but you'll break through the crowd of people 328 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 4: that are also seeking that promotion and at least get 329 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 4: through the screening process. Externally, this could be an investor. 330 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 4: This could be somebody that you meet over social media 331 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 4: that promotes your clothing line or something, and this individual 332 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 4: helps set you up for success because they've put their 333 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: name behind you when other people trust them, believe them, 334 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 4: and they have a positive reputation. And the last one 335 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 4: is a peer mentor, as I was mentioning before, a 336 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 4: peer mentor is something that maybe is one to two 337 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 4: years of experience ahead of you. You feel very comfortable. 338 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 4: It's almost a friend relationship where you can really let 339 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 4: your walls down and just say, hey, I'm if this 340 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 4: is inside your organization, saying I am a manager, I 341 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 4: see that you're a senior manager in the same department. 342 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 4: What did you like? What was that experience like being 343 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 4: promoted to that? What should I do here as a 344 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 4: manager so that in three years I can become a 345 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 4: senior manager too? Who should I know? What should I do? 346 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 4: If this is outside of the organization, this person might 347 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 4: be a senior manager outside in a different company, but 348 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 4: still be able to give you the applicable knowledge based valley. 349 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 4: You understand the road ahead of you, and you can 350 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 4: tailor your goals and your strategy based on their lived 351 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 4: experiences and make it work for you. 352 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 3: Right, you know, thank you James for that update. Peer management, 353 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 3: per mantor, peer mentor, I think is really important. All 354 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: seven on very important, but I want to talk about that. 355 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 3: I want to zero one in for a minute because 356 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 3: of the fact that when you become successful, part of 357 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 3: success is leadership. And as you're dealing with leadership, one 358 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: word is not to show signs of weakness. You know, 359 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 3: in other words, if you're in a war, you don't 360 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: want the guy who's telling you to go fight and 361 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 3: go over that He'll start crying. That's a weakness and 362 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: you won't go is he crime? And I'm going over 363 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 3: that hill. I'm not going over that hill be crying. 364 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 3: And so so my whole thing is that you got 365 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 3: to have people that you can be honest when she 366 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 3: said that, you got to have people that allow you 367 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: to be you. In words, if you have a fear, 368 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 3: huh yeah, Because if you have something that bothers you, 369 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 3: you have to have someplace where the turret. I will 370 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: tell you this, Jane's in my life. I have been 371 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 3: in cornered emotionally a lot of times because I didn't 372 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 3: know who to talk to. I didn't know where to go, 373 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: I didn't know. You know, water calms me. So I 374 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 3: go around water a lot. You know, it calms me 375 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: down and lows my brain to settle. Because when you 376 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 3: lead and you're doing unique things in life, you can't 377 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: always tell people you don't know. You can't always tell 378 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 3: people you're afraid. You can't always tell people that I 379 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 3: don't think that's a good idea. When you pitch the 380 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 3: good idea and they all want to do that good idea, 381 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 3: but you might have after settling down and realize that's 382 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 3: not the path of the success. And so I just 383 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 3: pulled that one out because that's so relatable because a 384 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: lot of people that they get become successful or they're 385 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 3: trying to gain a level of success, don't realize that 386 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: it's all right to be all right, it's all right 387 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 3: to be emotional, it's all right to say I don't 388 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: like that. So that's really what I just wanted to 389 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 3: add that, because all seven of their topics that you 390 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 3: put out there were outstanding, but that's the one that 391 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 3: I wanted to really drill in on because that's the 392 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 3: one that tinged the whole people back in their decision 393 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 3: making and their career path. Your thoughts. 394 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 4: I've seen it both ways. I've seen where well, first off, 395 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 4: if you're calling someone a peer mentor and they're trying 396 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: to hold you back, they're not a mentor, they are 397 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 4: not your friend. Trust your intuition and get out of 398 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 4: that relationship. Don't tell them anything else. Moving forward because 399 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 4: they are there to steal your blessings. Yes, they are 400 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 4: not there to amplify them. So first and foremost, take 401 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 4: that time the way they do not deserve you, and 402 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 4: they do not deserve that, and shame on them. So 403 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 4: if you actually have a proper peer mentor, they will 404 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 4: have enough security in themselves to want to help you, 405 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 4: and they'll recognize that life is a very long road 406 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 4: and it is cyclical and the world gets smaller and 407 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 4: smaller the further you are in your career. So while 408 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: you may be peer mentors today, you never know where 409 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 4: the other person's going to end up, and it's beneficial 410 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 4: for both of you to encourage each other, support each other, 411 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 4: share resources where applicable, within the proper boundaries, so that 412 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: the rising tide lifts all boats. I mean, I've had 413 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 4: peer mentors and friends that I've known for a decade 414 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 4: now and I can't imagine life about them. Or when 415 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 4: I moved to Austin in twenty eighteen, some of the 416 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 4: people I met that really helped me understand the Austin 417 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: tech startup ecosystem have become really close friends where we're 418 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 4: no longer discussing the Austin tech ecosystem, are discussing their 419 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 4: you know, their children, They're expanding families my books, like 420 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 4: we're just we're discussing so much more because life just 421 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: continues to evolve. And when you have these deep peer 422 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 4: mentor relationships, they're really beautiful and you can see that 423 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 4: evolution from something tactical in just one particular focus area 424 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: into expanding across all areas of your life. And like 425 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: I said, you just never know where each party will 426 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 4: end up. 427 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 3: Hey, Jens, this is where app upel.
