There are three ways to influence a mentee: 1) advise; 2) coaching; 3) counseling.

Remember, even the mentor needs a mentor sometimes. Regardless of experience and age, mentoring is always beneficial to you. 

The truest form of learning comes from personal experience.  It is up to each individual to challenge themselves and glean everything they can from every experience.  Talk with your mentoring partner today about your recent experiences - is there a lesson to be learned within them? 

It is easy to equate success with luck, however many of the most accomplished people in the world will say luck played no part in their success.  It was all due to dedication and hard work.  Talk with your mentor today about how you can apply yourself to create your own luck.

In the days following a busy holiday season it is easy to push aside responsibilities and spend just a few more minutes in "holiday mode".  Although everyone needs a good vacation now and again, at some point we all have to come back to reality.  Talk with your mentoring partner today about how you can push through that after holiday exhaustion and reach your goals.
