Day In A Canoe Podcast

In this episode, Nathan and Lisa discuss: How mentorship should be  Practicing reverse mentoring  What a good culture looks like  The burden of perfectionism   Key Takeaways: Mentorship doesn’t focus on the “how” but on the “why” of the job. Whether you are the mentor or the mentee, you have to come into the meeting with an agenda or else you’ll both be wasting each other’s time.  Reverse mentoring is a good way to engage younger and less experienced people so that they could share their opinions and feelings about working in the organization safely.  Create a culture where people are all connected and all enjoying spending time with each other and working together.  Free yourself from the burden of perfectionism. Be humble and honest about your mistakes, be gracious to yourself, and learn from it.    "Mentorship is different. It's not about learning the technical elements of your job, that's the organization’s responsibility, mentorship is the individual’s responsibility." —  Lisa Crafford    About Lisa
