How to be a Rockstar Mentee

Mentorship is a process that requires two people. It's an intimate connection of sharing valuable ideas and impressions so that both people in the relationship benefit. There are three specific actions a mentee can take to make sure they are a rockstar. This podcast is part two of a three-part series designed to help you become a Rockstar mentee and honor the process.  

The Power of a Mentor

I don't know about you, but I'm filled with gratitude for the mentors in my life. I thrive today because someone cared enough about me to invest. The Power of a Mentor is part 1 of a 3 part series on mentorship and how to rock it. Check back weekly.

Make Up Your Mind (or the power of self definition)

At some point, every leader needs to trust their gut instinct. While it's essential always to be learning, one must at many levels learn to trust the inner guide and keep the momentum flowing in their workday. In this episode, you are encouraged to trust yourself and grow in your self-confidence.

Attitude in Action

A mentor of mine says that your attitude in life will often determine your altitude of life. He means that how far you grow has everything to do with the view you have when getting there. During the COVID19 economy, you can thrive, and here is how.

The Monkey & The Elephant

Taming the inner voices is a crucial way to stay mentally fit at work. The only way to be able to respond to the correct voices in our heads is to become very intentional about recognizing what voice we are listening to at the time. The monkey and elephant are the logical vs. emotional states of our thinking. Both have a purpose, and each needs to be tamed.

Keystone Habits and Rocking Your Work

It's time to get real about rocking your work when you are functioning with the additional pressures of living in a pandemic. Caution, the next five minutes will put you on a course to productivity and impact. As we authentically address what's going on and how to come away from this COVID19 experience better than ever.

Learn Like a Rockstar

Someone once said that curiosity killed the cat. Well, I think curiosity is the foundation of our growth in all areas of our life. (The cat will have to make due.) Whether its physically, spiritually, or emotionally if you approach life with the desire to learn more, anything is possible. In this episode, you will learn three actionable ways you can grow like a rockstar at work through learning and growth.

The Power of Transitions

Momentum in life can be gained by taking clear advantage of your transitions in life. Moving from one task to another - or driving from home to work, how you capitalize on your transitions matter. The enemy of transitions is the constant need to be distracted. When we keep our minds plugged in and unaware of the in-between, we lose a bit of our potential and miss mentally preparing for the next thing. For us to indeed rock work and love life, we must make intentional space to transition in a way that sets us up to win at work and life.

The Success Formula

Do you ever wonder why I spend so much time thinking about success? I do, until I'm unsuccessful, then I know. Success isn't you versus the world game - Success in life is a powerful us thing. The more I'm connected with others and working towards common goals, the more engaged I am in the pursuit of success, the better I perform, and the more willing I am to fail. By knowing this success formula, you'll be able to generate momentum and win at work.

The Upside of Falling Down

Over the years, I've had many people tell me that their greatest failure was the turning point to their greatest achievement. There is an upside to failure if you can embrace the moment, learn, and take new actions. Pushing the fear of failure aside and striving for what's possible will keep you mentally fit and ready for the next challenge.
