Inner Circle

We hear the word MENTOR often in life, but in my personal and professional life, I don’t see people actively seeking or using mentors enough.

As a business development professional, I've sought out mentors my whole career to ensure someone is always finding ways I can push myself toward getting better in every meeting or even on every phone call. Throughout my journey, I've relied on new mentors based on where I was in my career. In selecting a mentor, I always wanted someone to work with me who had done the things I'm striving to achieve and can challenge me. I’ve found that humans are not always wired to be in growth mode. We get tired and beat up emotionally and physically. We set goals and then fall short. We have every intention of getting to the gym, but then we make excuses.

We have every reason to start making more phone calls tomorrow to build our sales pipeline, and then we don’t. We continue to make more excuses that convince us it’s okay to do nothing. Can anyone relate to these bad habits? Unfortunately, I'm sure we all can Reasons why it works Effective mentoring relationships are reciprocal: Both parties gain access to information, ideas, and new ways of doing things.

Experience is the best teacher Mentoring survives because having another person explain something to you and answer your questions is a preferred way of learning values, skills, and information over seeing it on video or reading about it. Synergy: Result is greater than the sum of individual capabilities Synergy is the ability of two or more people to achieve an outcome that each is incapable of doing alone. The energy and confidence that comes from a mentoring partnership are powerful forces. Perpetuation of positive influences

How many secrets that would benefit humankind have been lost with the passing of the discoverers? Mentoring allows the tips and tricks of an accomplished master to be passed on to the upcoming generation without the information becoming part of the public domain. It ensures that the positive effects of the mentor's actions will continue without him or her. Natural transition of life Often it is a person in the mid-stages of their career that is interested in becoming a mentor. Not only does it provide them with an opportunity to pass on the wisdom they have learned over the years, it affords them a chance for introspection and reassessment of their career.

The Modern Elder Package

The Role of the Modern Elder Conley thinks one way to prevent tech company stumbles would be to re-invent the concept of “elder” for today’s era — a role he has dubbed the “modern elder.” The problem with the traditional elder role, Conley says, is that knowledge flows in one direction only, from the old to the young (think Yoda in Star Wars). But the modern elder must be able to learn and evolve, so he or she can steer younger leaders to make better decisions. “You must be both mentor and intern, teacher and learner, sage and student,” Conley says. This might be dismissed as loose talk except that Conley actually serves in a modern elder role himself at Airbnb, and can point to others who do, too

Chief Marketing Officer [ Non Executive ]

Generally speaking, Small & Medium Enterprises (SME’s) can’t afford to employ Chief [anything] Officer. Typically, the Managing Director / Owner, who sometimes title himself/herself as CEO, is very lonely in the C Suite. Such businesses employ the services of an accounting firm to manage finances, a legal firm for legal work, etc. however, In the marketing space, businesses typically use various agencies to perform various tactical duties, and use an internal resource (young and inexpensive) to manage those relationships and tactical work. Sometimes there will be a marketing agency who oversee all that tactical work, handling bits and pieces of promotional work, branding, social media, websites and optimisation etc. What’s missing, is an experienced, strategic marketer (such as the qualified Lawyer or Accountant), acting as an outsourced CMO, drive strategy and manage the tactical execution, and be responsible and accountable for the work of the marketing function within the business.
