🌟 Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ — Season 5:Episode 16

 

“Self-awareness—understanding our own motivations, our strengths and challenges—is the key to getting ready to mentor.”

“We often meet someone and think they are ‘different’—but people are not inherently different: our differences lie between us, not within us.”

“Mentoring is a learning relationship. We must always be learning to grow, and always be connecting to learn.”

 

Mark your calendars!
