April Power Hour: From Technician to Mentor

This is the April Power Hour: From Technician to Mentor. We went over what it means to be a mentor, the importance, and the ways it can help your business.

First and foremost you must build trust. Language and the way you communicate is so important. Try these tips:

• Empathy: Meet mentees where they are. "Don't sweat it — let's try this instead."
• Expertise: Know your stuff and know when to look it up. "It's been a while — let's check the training app."
• Expectations: Set them early, make them two-way. Unmet expectations erode trust faster than anything.
• Invitation: Ask "What do you need from me?" — trust is a partnership, not a lecture.
