What a Mentor Believes
- Belief. Mentors high in the Belief theme value facilitating the growth of another person. They take a satisfaction from seeing another person’s success, specifically individuals with whom they have a relationship.
- Arranger. Mentors strong in the Arranger theme resonate to setting others up for success. They can design growth experiences for others by helping them have the materials and equipment they need or by teaming with others who have complementary talents.
- Self-Assurance. Mentors high in the Self-Assurance theme have the inner strength to know that they have something to offer to their mentee, can help them know the right things to do, and can be a role model for them.
- Developer. The developer not only knows that building a relationship with a person is essential to his or her growth, but actually takes satisfaction from helping the individual grow and resonates with the building of the relationship.
- Relator. Mentors high in the Relator theme care enough to do things with the mentee for the mentee’s own good. As the relationship develops, the mentor recognizes what is confidential to the relationship and then is absolute in maintaining that confidence. At the highest level of relationship, the mentor shares confidences and risks with the mentee. Trust grows.

Working with Linda is like having a chat with an experienced colleague. She is warmly supportive, but asks the tough questions and holds you accountable. She has worked with enough other online support professionals to see upcoming pitfalls and really encourages you to reserve valuable brain power and time, to devote to your own business.
During our 4-week mentorship relationship, Linda was wonderfully intuitive and helpful. She followed each of our sessions up with a brief recap of our focus, links with helpful resources and a reminder that she will be asking the tough question next session.. “What progress have you made towards your business goals this week?” Working with Linda was well worth my time. With her help, I grew into a much better business owner and support professional.
