Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and experiences over the past year as part of the MentorCity community. One of the most rewarding and exciting aspects of this business is seeing people get connected to meaningful mentoring relationships. This story is from one of my mentees as she steps into the mentor role... “What I have really enjoyed about my experiences on MentorCity is the rich and dynamic relationships I have built. But perhaps the most surprising aspect of my experience was the opportunity to 'mentor up'. I was apprehensive when I was invited to mentor someone 25 years older than myself! I was worried that our conversation would reflect a power imbalance based on age and experience. I was completely taken aback by the depth of our conversation - the reality was that it truly felt peer to peer. I was able to talk about my experiences, background and best practices for my industry. My mentee was truly engaged with what I was saying and I felt I had established a level of credibility during our conversation. MentorCity has given me an opportunity to explore ideas and build relationships with people I wouldn't otherwise have access to. I'm grateful for the growth and experiences I've had as a result.” ~ Jodi Slomp, Regional Trainer, Delta Hotels and Resorts On behalf of MentorCity, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a successful 2014 filled with many mentoring conversations.
