Ready to join the FLEXTALK movement and make an impact for generations to come?
Talking Points:
- We start the mentoring “loop” by “inviting” someone into a relationship. People need investment. Just as you’ve been helped in your life, you can and should help others
- We push it forward by “investing” in our friend. One good reason you should help others is that by helping others, you yourself will grow. To tutor math, you’ve got to master the lesson first.
- We conclude the mentoring portion of our relationship by “empowering” others to go out and become mentors themselves. If you’re ready to help someone, there are a few questions to consider first: Are you healthy? Do you care about others? Are you willing to invest the time and energy to mentor?
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- Who mentored you? How did you meet this person?
- Why was being mentored a valuable experience for you?
- Why is it important to help others the same way we’ve been helped? Give an example.
- In what ways could mentoring others help you grow as well? Give an example.
- Would you say you’re in a “healthy” place and can mentor someone else? Explain.
- Think about your own mentors. Why do you think helping others is such a big investment of time and energy?
- Who are some people you might be able to mentor? Why do these people come to mind?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
