Hi Everyone,
Thank you for the a great meeting yesterday. Here is a follow up email to the
mentoring program we introduced yesterday. I will break up this with the what,
who, and how.
The
What:
A mentor takes a personal interest in and helps an in experienced person,
sometimes called a mentee. The mentor serves as a role model, coach, and
confidante, offering knowledge, insight, perspective or wisdom useful to the
mentee. This help enables the mentee to learn, advance, and achieve their goals
more quickly. Remember this is a finite relationship, and when the mentee's
goal is achieve, then so does the mentoring relationship.
The
Who:
Mentors for anyone, new or experienced members, that wants to learn and develop
their speaking skills. For new members this can help them ease the beginning
transition into our club. In unfamiliar situations people need support,
personal contact and reassurance. Our new members need someone to explain the
program to them, show them how to prepare for various meeting roles, and they
need help preparing for their first few speeches.
Our experienced members may want to learn or refine a particular aspect of
speaking - such as speech organization or humor. Since another club member
excels in this area of interest, then this person could be your mentor and help
you to further develop that special skill. Or perhaps you have admired an
officer's ability to motivate and inspire members. Maybe the officer would be
willing to help you learn these leadership skills.
The
How:
All mentors are on a volunteer bases, since we all understand that we may be
busy with our daily commitments outside our meetings. We will welcome the
opportunity for a you to volunteer as a mentor. If you are willing to be a
mentor, please let the "Mentoring Coordinator", Bryan, or the "VP of
Education", Martha know.
As far as receiving a mentor, for new members they are generally automatically
assigned one. But, for experienced clubs you may submit a request to have
mentor. If you want to develop a specific skill and you know which member you
would like to learn from, then please feel free to talk with them directly.
Otherwise, you could let us know and we could ask them for you. In either case,
please inform of the "Mentoring Coordinator" or the "VP of Education" that you
wish to have mentor.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to send me an email. Thank you all for your time and I look
forward to hear from you soon.
Cheers!
Bryan
