Essential Qualities of a Good Professional Mentor -By Qasim Ali Shah.

Essential Qualities of a Good Professional Mentor -By Qasim Ali Shah.

Building a company to the point of acquisition, especially acquisition by a large corporation, takes a high level of savagery. In particular, core values and company culture need intentionality. Following that time of savage building comes a time of sage reflection, both about how things worked throughout the years, and how all of it shaped and impacted you, individually.  In today's episode, I talk with Angie Stocklin about all this. Angie is currently a Lecturer of Entrepreneurship at Purdue University, as well as an Angel Investor and a Mentor. Prior to that, she co-founded and built the company, One Click Internet Ventures, to the point of acquisition by Foster Grant, International. We discuss the years when she and her co-founder were scaling the business, including leadership decisions, finding the right team members, instilling core company values, and more.   “[Company culture] was all very intentional because, at first, it was completely unintentional. And we were naive enough to think that if we just set a good enough example, and we hired people that seemed to have the same values as us… the culture would just happen, and it would just naturally evolve… and that is not what happened.” -- Angie Stocklin What You'll LearnMoving into the next phase after an acquisition Growing a business to acquisition Proper and improper priorities Embracing leadership roles Kind but corrective feedback Knowing yourself and finding others that know themselves Transitioning to trusting others Intentional company culture Monitoring the health of core company values Ideas for regularly celebrating and reinforcing values Making values actionable Addressing when people fall short  Key growth and evolution What makes you feel valued?

Previously, Angie was a Professional Mentor for the Real Business Experience class at Butler University and the Co-Founder and COO of One Click Internet Ventures. One Click was acquired in July of 2018 by Foster Grant, International.  Describing her role as a Lecturer, Angie says, “I teach students the areas essential to the creation and management of new ventures, including marketing and selling, finance and accounting, project management leadership, team building and ethics.” https://twitter.com/easterday77 (Twitter) | @easterday77 https://www.linkedin.com/in/angiestocklin/ (Linkedin) https://www.thestartupladies.org/ (thestartupladies.org)  Connect with Daniel FullerDaniel is a partner and the VP of Business Development for FullStack PEO and host of the podcast Savage to Sage.

In this episode, Jacob shares many stories from his upbringing that have led him to where he is today - running a non profit, a coaching business and a media company. Jacob shares the struggles that he faced along the way and the turning point in his life when he made a shift and didn't look back. Jacob made a list of the things that he couldn't live without - extreme sports, traveling, and helping people, and he found a way to build a life around them. This episode is packed full of inspiration. Jacob hopes to change the way people view skateboarders and after hearing this episode, you might just ponder the idea that skateboarders can do incredible work and also skate. Jacob Jenkins is a skateboarder and entrepreneur born in Charlotte, currently living in Phoenix. He moved to Arizona after backpacking around Central America for seven months and created Now Evolving Skateboarding Worldwide, a 501c3 nonprofit that focuses on building influential leaders through skateboarding while donating skateboards to foster care and feeding families in need. His inspiration came from seeing so many people around the world struggle and from the deep connection he had made with locals through the love of skateboarding. He made a commitment to himself that he would go back, build skateparks, and make the world a better place.He has donated over 100 skateboards through his nonprofit to local foster care and children in need around the world. The process is simple, when you buy a skateboard, NESW will donate one. He has also hosted the first skate competition in the Galapagos Islands, events in Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Arizona. But, his proudest accomplishment has been feeding families in need, consisting of a thanksgiving food drive where volunteers get together to deliver thanksgiving feasts to at-risk families throughout the holidays.Follow Jacob on InstagramGet a skateboard = donate a skateboard

How To Find A Professional Mentor On my first trip to Nigeria back in 2006 I met a man who was unpretentious, slow, deliberate, and available.   Abraham Dada, known simply as Pa Dada, would eventually become for me a standard-bearer of life and leadership. He was a sage.  He was a man who lived out the challenging invitation to have “eyes to see, and ears to hear”. Imagine if Yoda were a Nigerian man.  That’s Pa Dada. His words were few, each one cutting consciously like a razor-sharp blade, causing little pain while exposing the inside. Mr. Dada was never the loudest person in the room, but his presence alive, known, and decisions always traveled through his unspoken filter.  His life was spent serving... at times with words and actions, at other times with simple presence. Each time I visited Mr. Dada at his unpretentious home in Egbe, Kogi State, he would be sitting thoughtfully in a blue plastic yard chair on the aft side of a small plastic table.  Rarely was he wearing something other than a simple linen set of shirt and trousers.  He would usually have his crooked reading glasses on while reading or writing. Within five minutes of arrival, we would always be welcomed with a warm bitter lemon and a soft “e’kaabo” and “e’dupe”. If I was visiting without Ashley and the kids, Mr. Dada would kindly ask, “How is Mommy?”, and of the kids, “How are my little friends?” One of my favorite images that Ashley captured was Mr. Dada thumbing through my book.  The teacher humbly offering a generous moment for the student.   In 2014 and 2015 Mr. Dada and I spoke often by phone when I was not in town due to some strain that was taking place within an initiative for which both he and I were committed to.  I remained in a state of foggy confusion and did not hesitate to verbalize bewilderment, and I believe Mr. Dada did as well, although he never spoke a crossword or thought to any person or scenario.   It was a real-life, in the moment lesson in “considering others better than yourself.” It was a moment of transparent grace. On Wednesday night October 28th my phone rang with Mr. Dada’s number.  Answering, his daughter called and said simply, “Pa Dada passed in the midnight and he wanted me to let you know.”   “He wanted to let me know.” Of all the conversations I remember, these may very well be the words that stick. “He wanted to let me know.” Two significant mentors have passed on from this life in the past decade.  The first is the man who invited me to look through the telescope of the nations and see God’s creation beyond my own borders.  Dr. Mike Barnett summoned me to embrace the nations.   Mr. Dada invited me to enjoy the wisdom and grace God has placed among the nations and to do it slowly and methodically. With Mr. Dada, I did not sign up for a global mentor program, and I did not ask that he formally “mentor” me.  I just went with a blurry, poorly planned vision to “work in Nigeria” and over time a friendship developed that provided me with a 5 foot 2-inch man in his nineties who just “wanted to let me know” with limited words and maximum presence.   What is that place, or those people, or that thing that you have an unreasonable, blurry desire for?  What if you just set up lunch or booked a ticket and just went regularly so you too can look up fourteen years later and realize that you too found a true gift whose ambition was to “let me know”? How do you find a professional mentor?   Many times is by not signing up for the professional mentoring program and instead of being bold, proactive, courageous, and a bit unreasonable to make friends with some unlikely people who are older and more experienced than you. Who do you need to go see today?  I wish I could go see my friend and just sit for a while.

And, this leads to a great question: in what ways has mentoring helped your life? What are some ways that you can give back to communities were the need for mentors is so great?

In 2019 he spent 71 days inside China doing lecture tours and has spoken in 21 cities there. Jim's TEDx video “How to Believe in Yourself” is in their Top 1% with over 2 million views.   But recently, Jim said “I am no longer a professional speaker, I'm a professional mentor”!  How did he come to that decision? What does that mean, and how can it help YOU?   Jim's own life reflects the truth that he walks his talk: Jim does 100 pushups every day (hasn't missed a day in over 1,200 days), runs mountain trails 3 days a week, plays guitar professionally, and has ridden his motorcycle all around the world. He's been married to Paula Cathcart for 50 years, as of 2020!   Tune in to learn more – and get inspired!   More about Jim Cathcart: A TV interviewer said, “Jim Cathcart is what ‘Fonzie' would have been if he'd gone to business school.” (Millennials are asking, “Who is Fonzie?”) Jim was an insurance agent for many years, an Army officer and a bill collector who, while in his twenties, had to repossess log trucks in the mountains of northern Arkansas. From this varied background he decided in 1972 to become an authority on the subject of motivation and through decades of dedication, study and hard work, he made it happen.   Contact Jim Cathcart by e-mail at jim@cathcart.com Also visit: www.startupagain.me   Contact Dr. Bunny Vreeland at (805) 482-8111 or E-mail: Bunny@BunnyVreeland.com Also visit:  https://bunnyvreeland.org/  https://vreelandcollege.org/

For our 35th episode, I sat down with Michele Klink. Michele was one of my mentors throughout my first teacher training. She supported me in my growth as a new teacher, and I was always inspired by her passion and dedication for teaching. I have been amazed with how she weaves in philosophical, energetic and spiritual context in her classes, and when I saw that she was offering a workshop on Yoga and the 5 senses, I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to have her on the show as a guest.5 BIGGEST TAKE AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE1. The senses are the window to the world we see. Over stimulation of the senses create a fatigue that dulls our senses and therefore our view of the outside world in a way that prevents us to see what is truly there.2. The goal is to focus on one sense, then withdraw a little bit away from the sense to quiet the mind chatter that is associated with that sense. Allow the awareness of your consciousness to grown until you withdraw completely to be able to really the world as it is ; pure peace, joy and so on.3. The senses can control the mind and the mind can control our senses. Your sense can deplete you or you can awaken your inner pharmacy of healing through your 5 senses. 4. Some of the Ideas she suggested to explore the senses on the mat (more in the episode): - Sight : Try a Drishti or gaze point, visualize. - Sound : Listen to your breath, one sound or one tone in the music. - Touch : Notice how your skin feels. Use a mudra. - Smell : Smell the breath in and out the nose. Use essential oils.- Taste : Tongue mudras5. Some of the Ideas she suggested to explore the senses off the mat (more in the episode): - Sight : Go out in nature, look at the view. Sit in front of a sunset. - Sound : Beautiful music, inspirational words, a soothing voice.- Touch : Self-Massage, long hug.- Smell : Choose a smell you love and associate it with a positive emotion.- Taste : Chew your food! Stay for a few minutesQUESTIONS SHE ANSWERED DURING THIS EPISODECan you tell us about yourself, your background and your yoga journey.Can you give us a general overview of what the 5 sense mean in the context of a yoga practice and why we should pay attention to it in our modern day society?Should we focus on the senses or do we withdraw away from the senses?Is it easier to start with our dominant or favorite sense or with the opposite?Is the goal of focusing on our senses to deepen our experience of the present moment?How do we work with the 5 Senses on the mat? And how do we do it so that we are not attached to a specific desired experience and stay anchored in the present moment?How can we incorporate practices with the 5 Senses off the mat, for example for Optimal Health?
