Dear ^fname^,

Spring is traditionally a time of new beginnings. With my new look and new outlook, I am continuing to re-invent myself and making more time for the things I love to do. I've started back to dance class for fun and exercise and am making every effort to arrange my schedule so that I can continue my art classes. I'm even allowing myself to rest more. Because I am taking better care of myself, I am more creative and enjoy my work more.

Recently I've re-connected with old friends and had some laughs sharing "remember when" stories. Some of the best laughs came from looking at the photos that were taken "in the old days." Did we really wear those clothes and think our hair looked fabulous?

It is also exciting to be participating in helping others re-invent themselves. My mentoring clients are working on new speeches, writing their next books and creating the changes they want in their lives.

It's never too late to do the things we want to do and be the person we want to be. This is our year. The time is now. Spring forward with me into a new life.

You are more than enough,

Judi

Mentoring Relationships

By Judi Moreo

Mentors are people who have more experience than we have and are willing to help and guide us in our development. In many cases, mentors can open doors and introduce us to people we may want or need to know. They usually have nothing to gain by helping us other than their own personal satisfaction.

Most often, we acquire our mentor through work. It may be a boss or a respected executive within the organization. Mentoring relationships are usually built over time. The best mentors are generally those who have taken an interest in our development long before we were aware of it. They have been gently nudging us toward changes in our behavior, our appearance and our work habits. Having seen that we are willing to make the changes they feel would be beneficial to both the company and ourselves, they become more willing to invest their time in imparting their wisdom to us.

When we approach someone we admire and ask them to become our mentor, it is important to let the person know why we have asked them and not someone else. We must let them know what we hope to learn and discuss how much of a time commitment it might take on their part. They will also want to know what we can contribute to the relationship. Not everyone has the desire to be a mentor, so be prepared if they turn you down. It may feel like rejection.

There are a number of factors that comprise a good mentoring relationship. Open, honest and clear communication is imperative. From the beginning, there must be specific guidelines and boundaries, both for the mentor and the mentee. Determine how often you will meet, what subjects, if any, are out of bounds and set goals for the desired results. All assignments must be completed in a timely manner. Continued communication with regard to progress and establishing new goals will help to maintain the relationship.

A good mentor/mentee partnership can result in a bond and friendship that will last for many years. The greatest compliment to your mentor is to become a mentor to someone else as soon as you are able. While you continue to learn and grow with your own mentor's help, you can also pass on the wisdom you have gained.

Mind Workout

Make a list of all of the people in your life who have believed in, empowered and mentored you. Write a brief description of what they did and what it has meant to you. Take a few minutes sometime in the next few weeks to call or write to someone on your list and say thank you.
