Identity Based vs. Skill Based Mentoring // Mentoring Minute","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":522,"description":"Identity-Based vs. Skill-Based Mentoring\n\n“Just like a good tool doesn’t make you a handy man. Knowing skills alone doesn’t fulfill your mentee’s potential” \n\nSkill-based mentoring usually goes like this: \nThink of things you think your mentee should knowShake a hand, tie a tie, resume, etc…\nTeach them these things\nHope they use them to reach their full-potential\n--\nSkill-based mentoring is good, but I believe it is secondary to Identity-based mentoring\n\nSkills are no good if you’re mentee believes:\nThey lack intelligence or can't succeed\nThey will never amount to anything\nThey lack confidence, hope or have no self-value\n--\n\nLet’s start with identity-based mentoring first.\nHelp them see themselves how God sees them. \nEncourage, build up, & champion your mentee\nBe the most encouraging person in the world\n--\nWhen they believe this, they will have intrinsic motivation to learn the skills. They will be hungry to become all that they can be because they believe in themselves and have someone believing in them. \n\nNow that they believe they have worth and are capable of success, introduce the skills. \n\nFirst identity. Then skills.\n--\nPlease follow @youcanmentor on social media and give us a 5 star rating! If you are a part of a mentoring organization, we'd love to get to know you!
