Why Should I Trust Mentorship?
By Paul Waugh, Lighthouse International Head Mentor
In a self-help industry that lacks credibility, where should you put your trust? In this short, sharp clip, you will get to learn the number one criterion to consider when you’re asking yourself the question, “Why should I trust mentorship?”.
Putting in heart, and passion and driving forward the growth and development of people and business from there, what an honest and true place to start. No tricks no personality ethic fast ones. I really think there’s a basic humanness that gets forgotten when approaching most endeavours in life, but when you read of any successful story of real trials and triumphs throughout history, this very thing is sewn into it throughout.
I remember when I first read in Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits book that ‘trust is the highest form of human motivation’, it really stuck with me in how I viewed all of my relationships, personal, professional, familial…
If we don’t know how to build trust, we will always be closed off and cynical of things that make us uncomfortable and that requires us to look beyond what is only on the surface.
When I first looked into what finding a mentor meant, I realised that it wasn’t just a networking buddy I was looking for, but someone who I needed to build trust with, in order to work closely with, often with painful or difficult personal experiences to work through in order to grow and develop.
Thank you for sharing this valuable insight into why it’s important to understand the process in order to trust it and build trust in myself to work through it.
Thank you, I could not agree more, it CANNOT be about the service or medium, you have to believe someone when you sit down in front of them, that they experientially know what they are saying and they care enough to want to genuinely help you. We have a world full of “life-hacks, tips and tricks” and none of this can compensate for a lived experience. When you are baring your soul to another human being, you have got to be able to look them in the eyes and know they understand and you can trust them with what you are opening up them. Sound advice 🙂
