Embrace the power of mentorship from "summary" of Becoming by Michelle Obama
Mentorship, I've come to believe, is a two-way street. Even when the relationship seems one-sided, it's always a reciprocal one. We're both learning something from it. When you're the person in the position of power, you need to ask yourself, "Who am I lifting up? What opportunities am I creating for people?" And when you're the one receiving mentorship, you have to consider, "What am I learning here? How am I growing?" It's an exchange, a dialogue, and it can't be a passive one. I've been lucky to have some incredible mentors in my own life. People who saw something in me that I may not have seen in myself. People who encouraged me, pushed me, and believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. These relationships have been invaluable to me, shaping me into the person I am today. And now, as I find myself in a position of influence, I see it as my duty to pay it forward. To lift others up, to create opportunities for those who may not have them otherwise. Mentorship is about more than just giving advice or sharing knowledge. It's about investing in someone else's potential. It's about seeing the best in others and helping them to see it in themselves. It's about building a community of support and encouragement. Mentorship is a powerful tool for growth and development, both for the mentor and the mentee. It's about building relationships that last a lifetime, that shape the course of our lives in ways we may not even realize at the time. I've seen firsthand the impact that mentorship can have. I've seen how it can change lives, open doors, and create opportunities. And I've seen how important it is for all of us to embrace the power of mentorship, to both give and receive it with an open heart and an open mind. Because when we lift each other up, when we invest in each other's potential, we all rise together. And that, to me, is the true power of mentorship.
