Mentor-MenteemomentfeaturingMayur

When Sanjay came to me with a script for his icebreaker speech, I was taken aback. The content was filled with his story of struggles and hardship.

I called Sanjay and told him "It is very admirable that you've so much grit in you. But an icebreaker speech is one where you introduce yourself to a club And from what I know of you, you have the gift of humour and positivity. So you can make your speech to fit those characteristics." Sanjay did so and won the best speaker that evening. I was really happy, that I was able to give this input to Sanjay for I was just passing on the message from my mentor to my mentee.

The very first draft of my Ice breaker speech was a story of my road accident. When I shared it with my mentor Sindhu this was what she said - "Mayur as a person has so many characteristics. It is truly motivational that you've overcome all the hardship but you as a person are so much more. Try to look at the glass as half full rather than half empty". I'm happy that I was able to pass this lesson from my mentor to my mentees

Every individual is filled with so many wonderful characteristics. We can learn something useful from each and every single person. Mentoring is one such exercise where we learn that our skills multiples when we share it with someone.
