TUTORED… The Place of Mentoring in Business Success.

- Pattern yourselves after me [follow my example], as I imitate and follow Christ (the
Messiah). - 1 Cor. 11:1 Amp - Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the
same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. -2 Tim. 2:1-2
SCRIPTURES
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” -
Isaac Newton
The best way to really train people
is with an experienced
mentor... and on the job. -Tom
Peters
Quote
• Mentoring is a personal developmental relationship in
which a more experienced person helps a less experienced…
• It’s when someone takes the role of a trusted adviser, supporter,
teacher and counselor to another individual or group with the sole aim of the mentor developing the
mentee.
Definition
Semantics
• A Tutor (Teacher, Instructor, Coach, etc.) & A Mentor
• Instructors are bound by structures, curricula,
datelines/deadlines, etc.
• Less choice in deciding who your instructors may be
• Mentors are chosen on personal preference
• Mentors continue mostly where teachers stop
• Elijah – Elisha • Jethro – Moses • Moses – Joshua • Jesus – His Disciples • Paul – Timothy • Eli – Samuel • Andy Grove & Robert Friedland mentored
Steve Jobs • Bill Gates & Paul Allen of Microsoft were
mentored by PC inventor Ed Roberts • Martin Luther King Jr. mentored Jesse
Jackson • Johann C. Bach mentored W.A. Mozart • David Foster mentored Josh Groban
Phil Jackson was Michael Jordan’s
coach and mentor.

WHY?

Benefits for the Protégé • A non-threatening
learning opportunity
• Improved self-confidence
• Developing expertise & technical knowledge
• Challenge
• Listening, support and reassurance
• Networking/partnership opportunities
Tips for Protégés • Be affirmative about where you’re
going in life
• Create clear expectations from the beginning of the mentoring relationship
• Have multiple mentors for different aspects of your life… i.e. business, marriage, finance, etc.
• Never ask for money from your mentor
• Don’t waste a mentor’s time – physical presence, lengthy e-mails, lengthy telephone conversation, irrelevant talks when meeting, etc.
• Ensure a constant feedback on tasks, counsels, advice, etc. given to you
• Continuously evaluate what you’re gaining versus your set goals
• Occasionally give to your mentor
– Not necessarily something very big and expensive but what is useful and presentable to the mentor e.g. books, CD/DVD, Souvenirs, etc.
So please, take it from me: no matter how incredibly
smart you think you are, or how brilliant, disruptive or plain off-the-wall your new
concept might be, every start-up team needs at least one good mentor. Someone,
somewhere, has already been through what you are convinced nobody else has ever confronted! - Richard
Branson
