Download or read book The Mentor in Me written by William Todd and published by Writestream Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From humble beginnings to celebrated entrepreneur and successful business coach, William Todd is one of the few to be personally mentored by one of the masters of personal and business development, Bob Proctor. The Mentor in Me chronicles a journey many of us can relate to -- been given the tools and guidance to achieve success and then only sometimes following through on the wisdom offered. The book documents the time when William used The Seven Levels of Awareness to unlock doors and change paradigms and the times when, to his detriment, he failed to make the most of opportunities presented. Until he understood why he was not achieving long-lasting success, he was doomed to failure. The Mentor in Me offers a rare opportunity to watch as Bob Proctor mentors William through the peaks and valleys (ditches) of entrepreneurship towards a life of seemingly effortless abundance. The Mentor in Me is not just for entrepreneurs, however. It is for corporate professionals, students, parents and grandparents, educators, and budding entrepreneurs alike. "The Mentor in Me is not a book you pick up and read. It's a book you form a relationship with and you will want to study it daily for the rest of your life." -- Bob Proctor

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.

Book excerpt: Highly acclaimed UCLA Women's gymnastics coach of 7 NCAA championships Valorie Kondos Field shares insights on how to use uniqueness and authenticity to achieve success. Former professional ballerina Valorie Kondos Field--or Miss Val, as she's affectionately known--has never tumbled, flipped, or even played any type of organized sports, and yet she has been able to craft a legendary coaching career through curiosity, creativity, attention to detail, and unwavering care for the overall well-being of her athletes. For Miss Val, it's not about winning and losing, it's about choreographing your life and owning the choices you make. Miss Val has shaped her UCLA Gymnastics program as a life skills class and now she's sharing those lessons with you, whether you're an athlete, business leader, or simply someone who wants to own their destiny. Miss Val's philosophies are timeless. Her coaching style is unorthodox. Life Is Short, Don't Wait to Dance is a thought-provoking, fun journey through the anecdotes of the 35-year career of a dancer/choreographer turned athletic coach. The book includes unforgettable stories of the Olympians and athletes with whom she's worked-including the inspirational journey of Katelyn Ohashi, whose joyful transformation under the tutelage of Miss Val was evident to the world when her perfect 10 floor routine went viral -- reaching over 100 million viewers. Other triumphs include Olympian Jamie Dantzscher, who found her confidence at UCLA and learned the tools to combat her previous abuse; and sensation Christine Peng Peng Lee, who helped the Bruins clinch the 2018 NCAA championship with back-to-back 10's. Miss Val also shares her favorite memories of her mentor, legendary basketball coach John Wooden, as well as her thoughts on Larry Nassar and the gymnastics sexual abuse scandal. Miss Val reveals how her coaching journey had a rocky start before she found her own best approach. In time she realized that her dance background wasn't a detriment, it was a gift. When she embraced this, Miss Val led the Bruins to victory. Life Is Short, Don't Wait to Dance is packed with great advice for anyone on a quest for success, delivered in Miss Val's reassuring and inspirational tone. She took the same approach to her breast cancer diagnosis, explaining how she made that struggle into one of the best years of her life. For Miss Val, it's all about attitude.

Useful and informational, My Mother, My Mentor communicates that not only did the children of working mothers survive having a working mother, they thrived in an environment where mothers provided their children a strong work ethic, taught them resilience, and continued as a sounding board long into adulthood.
Download or read book My Mentor My Guide written by Blade Bannon and published by The Nazca Plains Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thank you for taking the time to choose this book. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the experience of putting it together. The book was a labor of love and even though it started off very fast, it took much longer then expected to finish. But I believe all good things come in their own time, so even with all of life's adventures seeming to get in the way, I knew it would all come together at the right place and time. Now for the big question, what drew you to this book? Are you looking for something? If you chose it in the hope of finding some answers then you're in the right place. For every book or place that you look always has a golden nugget of wisdom hidden somewhere inside. The trick is to have an open mind so you can find them when they present themselves. With that in mind, I'm going to tell you what you won't find in this book. If you're looking for some kind of how-to book about how to set up your own dungeon or how to use some easy come-on lines to score a date then you may want to keep looking. This book explains the deep core issues of male bonding in the BD/SM fetish setting. So why did I write this book? I wrote it for a number of reasons, some were personal and others spiritual but mostly I wrote it for you. To offer you a new view on where our culture is heading and to offer a map to help navigate through treacherous waters as safely as possible. In these pages you'll find truths that will free you in ways you won't expect. I presented the information in a simple format and added some stories to make the reading more interesting. My goal is for you to be better able to fully enjoy your sexuality and understand how close the bonds run between two people when respect, trust and understanding are present. As for me I'm always looking for answers. I'm always changing and always growing. I believe that you never stop evolving. There's always something new to learn or experience. Life just works that way. You can fight it or be an element of change. The choice is yours.
Download or read book My Mentor written by Alec Wilkinson and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2002 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling reflection on wisdom, friendship, and the craft of writing, My Mentor is also the touching story of a young man's education at the hands of a master, William Maxwell. At age twenty-four, Alec Wilkinson approached Maxwell in hopes of being taught to write. A quarter century of friendship followed. As a fiction editor of The New Yorker, Maxwell was unquestionably one of the past century's most respected editors; as the author of the masterpieces They Came Like Swallows and So Long, See You Tomorrow, he was one of its greatest American writers. His unparalleled ear for language and eye for detail, his depth of understanding and experience, make his instructions on writing an essential guide to the craft. In honoring this great man of letters, Wilkinson creates a "deft and sympathetic portrait" (New York Times Book Review).
