Ep. 115 – Intentional Mentoring

,

One of the ways that we can be intentional with relationships and community is healthy intentional mentoring. It is something we are called to do no matter what age we are. It is also something that is so organic it can be hard to feel confident about whether or not we are doing it “right.” So, why not look to those that have a lifetime of experience and learn from them. Ironically that is what mentoring is all about! So, Stacy invited Coletta Smith to share with us some great guidelines and tips for successful mentoring. If you have desired to be mentored and just didn’t know where to begin, or if you have ever considered mentoring someone but just didn’t feel confident in how to do it, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Nuts + Bolts | Ep. 1 – Introductions

,

Today we’re going to be talking about introductions, which are way more important than most people give them credit for.
