Mentoring Program Roll Out

"A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could." The mentor does just that, they believe that their mentees can do it. This, in itself, is usually encouragement enough for the mentee to do their best to succeed in life.”

A Mentor helps one Visualize, Verbalize and Realize your goals.By asking the questions…

Where are you now?

Where do you want to be?

How do you get there?

How are you doing?
