PROGRAM
Today’s speaker was John Lambert, whose topic was “Mentorship, why it Matters.” He started out by defining mentorship: “Mentorship is a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or knowledgeable person helps guide a less experienced or knowledgeable person.” Some attributes of mentorship are as follows:
* Treat others like they are a “10.” * Provide Inspiring Messages. * Be Principled. * Equip Others * Use Humor as a Tool. * Don’t Be Negative. * One Size Doesn’t Fit Everyone. * Possess Uncommonly Positive Attitudes. * Catch People Doing Something Right. * Work on Your Communication Skills. * Be Careful to Speak the Same Language.
RAFFLE
