Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s Christian women do not simply want nice fellowships and cookie-cutter answers about how to deal with life. Though churches are filled with good ministry programming—activities, outreach events, and an endless selection of options—many churches neglect their fundamental mission to make disciples. Christian women want to mentor and to be mentored, though they may not fully understand what that means, the significance of this desire, or how to get there. The church must rise to answer these questions, meet life’s challenges, and develop creative ways of equipping modern women to mentor well. In Mentor for Life, Natasha Sistrunk Robinson lays a solid foundation for mentoring that is based on God’s kingdom vision, challenges women to consider the cost of discipleship, and the high calling they have received in Christ. It shows how to develop mentoring relationships that function communally in existing small groups that are diverse and inclusive. It also presents a mentoring framework of knowing and loving God, understanding our identity in Christ, and loving our neighbor, which encourages theological reflection and cultivates a basic Christian worldview. Filled with examples from Robinson’s experience in the military and business world, this resource gives readers the wisdom they need to disciple others and as a foundation for kingdom service.

Download or read book Mentor written by George Drake and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What usually struck people about Joe Rosenfield was his wit and unwavering love for Grinnell College. In fact, Rosenfield once said about the college: "After about my third week in the place I'd fallen in love with it. A team of horses couldn't have dragged me away." His passion for the college and its success shined in his dedication to the Grinnell Board of Trustees, where he served from 1941 until his death in 2008. Rosenfield's favorite sport, even counting his 5 percent stake in the Chicago Cubs, was making money for Grinnell. His own out-of-the-box thinking and close friendship with famous investor Warren Buffett helped grow Grinnell College's endowment from $78,000 at the beginning of Rosenfield's board service to just over $1 billion more than a half-century later. "Mentor" will take you on a journey through Rosenfield's life, from his days as a Grinnell student in the early 1920s to serving as the chairman at Younkers to becoming an instrumental figure in Grinnell College history. The stories inside display Rosenfield's steadfast desire to make a positive impact, one of the many reasons he was beloved by so many.- KAY BUCKSBAUM George Drake first came to Grinnell as an undergraduate in the class of 1956. After a sojourn at the University of Chicago to receive his Ph.D., Mr. Drake began his career as a historian and dean atColorado College. He returned to Grinnell in 1979as President, serving in that capacity until 1991.During his presidential tenure, he taught British history several times.From 1991-93, he served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Lesotho, teaching English in a Catholic mission school. Since his return to Grinnell, he has pursued his interests in British and Southern African history.
Download or read book The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

Download or read book The Mentor Connection written by Michael G. Zey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past several years the concept of the mentor has become a part of the common parlance. There is a widespread interest in the pivotal role of mentoring for the success of individuals. Research has made it plain that mentors play a major role in career development. Now human resources and organizational development groups have come to appreciate the role of mentoring on the donor as well as recipient, for the career of the helper no less than the person(s) being helped. Michael Zey, in this study based upon interviews with over 150 executives in Fortune 500 companies and smaller firms, provides a major exploration of the sociological dynamics of the mentoring relationships, locating this phenomenon in the fields of career growth, job satisfaction, and social mobility. In doing so, Zey offers a framework for the understanding of corporate culture, an approach that raises this volume far beyond the usual self-help literature found in this field.

It starts with a struggling business owner, Ken, who is invited to a BNI networking group by a business associate who proceeds to mentor Ken and help him learn how to network effectively and build a referral based business. Ken's mentor teaches him very specific strategies on how to network better and at the same time, the mentor improves his skillset as well. Each and every one of us has people in our lives who made a difference. We all have someone in our story who influenced the path we took-or perhaps motivated us to carve our own path. These are the mentors we've had in our life. Their impact can be life changing. We firmly believe in the power of mentors to make a positive difference in the lives of others. By devoting time and attention to a mentoring relationship, both parties reap deeply powerful and meaningful rewards that extend well beyond simple financial gain. As we mature and gain more experience, we have the opportunity to transition from mostly being a mentee to also being a mentor. This book is for both mentors and mentees. We've all had mentors who are in "our story." When we talk about how our life has changed through our experiences with them, they are part of that story. However, there is something even more important: The real question is not who's in our story but whose story are we in? Whose life have we made a difference in? That's what creates a meaningful life, and that's why this book is for both mentees and mentors. (This book is the second edition of a book originally titled: "I Love Networking." It has been expanded with additional chapters and graphics.)
