How to Work with a Mentor

How to Work with a Mentor

If you have found a great mentor (either a paid coaching relationship or a volunteer), consider yourself blessed, You have a unique opportunity to tap into that person’s wisdom , possibly develop a lifelong bond, and make a quantum leap in your life.  People usually volunteer to mentor people because they want to give back and/ or they really believe in their mentees’ potential/vision.  A paid mentoring relationship can be equally or even more beneficial because you generally have your mentor’s undivided attention during paid sessions. Bottom line, is a mentor wants to feel like they are helping to make a difference.One of the main keys regarding mentoring is maintaining a balance. The mentee needs to keep his or her own voice, and assimilate mentor guidance.  The mentor cannot become too attached to outcomes in the mentee’s life.  The mentee should maintain mindfulness of the time that the mentor has available for the relationship. What I am talking about here is healthy boundaries. Some signs that boundaries are not set correctly are if the mentee calls the mentor at 6 am on a Sunday morning or the mentee feels that he or she cannot make even a minor decision without mentor approval. On the mentor side- signs that the relationship needs to be recalibrated are: The mentor, become emotional (upset, angry, etc) if his or her mentee does not take  advice or makes a mistake  or the mentor  worries  excessively about the mentee. So how can you carve out a healthy , mutually beneficial relationship with your mentor?  I have created the following tips and ideas based on my own mentoring experience and my experiences with my own mentors (Just so you know,  still maintain relationships with most of my current and past mentors and mentees).
First ask yourself- What do you want to get out of the relationship? If you really need or desire someone’s devoted attention to reach a big goal (launch a business, change careers, etc), you will likely want to consider hiring a mentor.  If you want assistance moving up the ladder or general ideas and you can be very patient about the time that your mentor has for you- you probably are fine with a volunteer mentor (someone you might find while networking or someone you work with currently or in the past). If you hire someone, you will work out some kind of written agreement with time and payments clearly delineated. If you have a professional person who has taken you under their wing- your time together will be more informal and not as structured. In either case, you will have the best experience if you think about what you want.  Are you looking for marketing, financial, hiring , product development ideas, etc? Or are you thinking more about personal development- time management, organizational skills, work life balance, relationship building, etc. You will probably think of a few things I have not mentioned, too. The point is to think about this and reevaluate occasionally. 
What are the mentor’s expectations? You do not need to be a mindreader. Ask your mentor what the expectations are. As a mentor, with my paid clients or anyone I take under my wing, I expect timeliness for appointments, any homework or research to be completed, and I expect an open and flexible attitude. I expect a willingness to change and grow. Think about this:  If you already know everything, why do you need a mentor?
Communication. Communication needs to be professional. Keep in mind mentors often run a business, a division, or hold leadership positions where there are time and resource demands. Stay within your time guidelines- so if you have an hour appointment- stick to that- unless your mentor seems to want to prolong the conversation (yes, some appointments do run over and that is okay occasionally, but if you find yourself asking another question just as the conversation is ending- are you really being respectful and mindful?).  Answer all emails from your mentor. When you send an email- keep it short and try to stick to one main idea. If you send a 600 word email- you will have to wait longer for an answer. You might be an evening person and your mentor might be a morning person or vice versa. So you could send an email at night and not get a response back until the next day- or longer. My goal is to respond to emails within 24-48 hours.  If you send an email over the weekend- it might take longer to get a response.  Only ask questions when you cannot get the answer yourself. If you send a series of questions where the answer could be found in 10 seconds on google- you are not asking your mentor the right questions.  Avoid asking your mentor questions when he or she has already answered them. e.g- your mentor send you a list of tools and you ask for the tools link three times. (Hint- search your email). Find some way to file all of your email from your mentor- maybe even create a Word document- called Mentor Ideas and Resources. Have a clear subject title in your email- not “hello” . An example of a clear subject title might be- “Ideas for my blog- need feedback”.  Be really clear about dates- for instance- if you want feedback on something let your mentor know when you need it- not a good idea to put anything less than 48 hours. That way- if your mentor cannot give you feedback in that amount of time- he or she can let you know.
Try New IdeasA mentor pet peeve is when guidance or suggestions are given and the response back is full of excuses or why the guidance won’t work.  These tactics are examples that are often based in fear or ego. If you have a fear, bring it forward. Again, why do you have a mentor if you aren’t willing to try anything new? This is not to say that you implement all mentor suggestions. Just put some thought into whether or not you really could implements some new ideas.
Track your progressAs you work with your mentor- keep a journal or notebook where you can jot down ideas and track your progress. If you hired your mentor to help you launch a business how close are you? If you hired a mentor to help you grow your business- what progress have you made? It is easy to forget. If you had zero online presence and you now have a blog or website, are set up on social media, and have held virtual events-you have made huge progress.  If you honestly see that you are not moving forward- talk to you mentor. Maybe you can brainstorm some new ideas or directions.
Another good question is- When does the relationship end? In the best of circumstances- the mentor relationship goes through transitions where you might lessen the frequency of contact, then move to more of a colleague relationship. Sometimes the relationship ends more abruptly. If you strive for great communication throughout your relationship with your mentor- you most likely will have smooth transitions. Having a mentor is truly for people who want to make that quantum leap forward. If you truly feel content and are not looking for change or growth- the mentor relationship is probably not for you. If you are ready to make your move, establishing a relationship with mentor could be a key to your success.

Warmest,
Coach Sheri

How to be a Great Telesummit Guest Presenter

How to be a Great Telesummit Guest
I decided to write this blog because I am nearing the last few days of the Summer Success Summit and I have been receiving many emails and inquiries regarding future guest presenter options. I regularly feature top experts and best selling authors on my transformative Your Path to Success Summit series. Sometimes I work with experts who have never participated in a virtual event. I thought I would share information with you on how to be a great telesummit guest. If you have a message, a product, a book and/or are an expert in your field, participating in a telesummit, is a great way to get your message out and possibly you will even make some money in the process. A telesummit is a teleconference or webinar event where the host brings together expert interviews over a series of days and sometimes even weeks or months. Attendees have the advantage of signing up once and being able to access experts with a certain theme (e.g, success, marketing, joy, etc). Many times (possibly most of the time) the event is free, but upgrade packages are offered.  If a product is offered, presenters usually have the opportunity to earn affiliate commission on the product. Telesummits are powerful for attendees, hosts, and guest presenters. They are usually win/win for everyone.If you decide that you want to be a guest presenter on a telesummit, I have some suggestions on how to make it a great experience for you, your host, and attendees. You want to be asked back or be asked to present at other events.

Providing Information
When you first receive your invitation, then upon your acceptance, your confirmation email from the host: be cognizant of all of the information that you need to provide and the due date deadlines.  You will at a minimum, need to provide a pic, a bio, and a topic. You may also be asked for your paypal email or an address to send an affiliate check. If an affiliate opportunity is available- you may have to sign up for this yourself- or your host might take care of setting up your affiliate id for you. (I take care of this for all of my guests).  You may also be given the opportunity to submit questions for the host. (This is a great opportunity for you to make sure that you cover all of your points in your presentation).  You may be asked to provide a bonus offer or free offer for attendees (put some thought into this- this is one of your main ways to build your list, sell your products/services and build a strong presence). You also need a quick easy way to deliver your offer (usually a download from a landing page). The host may ask you for your twitter id so she or he can include this in promos.  Each summit is slightly different, so there could be additional requests.Meet all deadlines.

Promoting the Event
You also will receive marketing material from the host- a sample email and/or sample social media promos/newsletter blurbs, your affiliate link etc.  As a good guest presenter, you should promote the event. The host will heavily promote and the most successful guest presenters , also heavily promote the event. The more you promote- the more affiliate commission you will make and the more attendees you will have on your live call. It is helpful to let your host know when you are promoting (e.g. when your mailing is going out, when you are posting on twitter, fb, etc). Hosts love getting these kinds of emails.Promote other guest presenters to help create synergy. Tweet. Blog, or facebook about other guests.

Communication
Realize that your host may get a couple hundred to a couple thousand emails a day, so if you have a question, keep your emails short and to the point (bullets help). Be sure to reference your event in the subject line. Don’t dramatically change your presentation right before the summit- stick to the plan. Respond to email questions from the host in a timely manner. Realize that only the most grave emergency is an acceptable reason to cancel your participation after the summit page is up and public.

Your Presentation Day
·         Dial in to the Summit when your host asks you to (usually anywhere from five to ten minutes early). ·         Call in from a fully charged phone or landline. ·         Be fully present for your presentation (avoid any distractions- such as email, social media, etc). ·         Be prepared for the unexpected. These are live events- there could be technical difficulties. This is where you need to go with the flow. ·         When speaking, take breaths and pause occasionally- in case the host wants to jump in and ask a question to expand on the point or topic. ·         Avoid tangents. ·         There may be an opportunity to answer questions from attendees.  It is okay to pause and think before answering.·         Keep in mind that during telesummit, events attendees may jump on the call anywhere from fifteen minutes ahead of time and then throughout the call- most are on the line by about ten to fifteen minutes after starting time. When you are presenting- avoid prolonged exercises that might confuse people if they call in during the middle.·         Note: on some conferences- the recording will time out after a minute of silence.·         Be authentically who you are.·         Have fun.

After the Summit
·         Follow up on emails from new prospects right away.·         Give the host feedback and thank the host.·         Debrief your own presentation: Acknowledge what went well and note anything you want to tweak for next time. ·         Note affiliate commission payout dates- if you made some affiliate commission – great- if not- that is okay too. ·         Note the benefits you gained from participating (visibility, product sales, energy, making a difference, etc).·         If you really enjoyed being a guest- look for other guest opportunities.

The Host perspective
As a host, I am committed to bring value, fresh ideas, and tips and techniques that people can use right away. I create huge events that reach a wide audience  with a diverse guest presenter panel and I cherish guest presenters who share the vision of helping people to truly create their own path to success. If you are extremely professional and great at what you do- you might be a perfect guest for one of my future event.


Warmest,
Coach Sheri

You are an expert- write a book fast
What kind of expert are you? Chances are that you are an expert in an area. Are you a mom who is highly organized, efficient, and has well behaved, successful kids? You probably are an expert mom. Are  you a master at throwing parties? You are most likely an expert event planner. Are you always the one to come up with creative ideas during brainstorming sessions at work? You may be an expert at creative processes. Get the idea? By now, your brain is probably churning with ideas based on you as an individual and your own unique life. You have some expert knowledge to share. Maybe you have thought about writing a book- maybe you have one in the works, but have not quite figured out how to put it together. One of my popular workshops that I teach is How to Write a Book Fast and Fabulously. Attendees write their book manuscripts in four weeks. A beginning part of this process is to gather everything that you have written and begin to look for a pattern- a way that everything connects. This helps create a book concept. More than likely, you have several books sitting up there in your mind- and you have struggled with focusing on the “right” topic. The “right” topic may be easier to find than you are thinking right now. For your first book, or even your second- write about something you feel very passionate about- and is also an area of expertise for you. You will approach your book project with more zest and energy if you can tap your passion and your expertise. I want to help you with this process. I do teach a 4 week workshop, but I have also decided to offer the 4 hour audio of the workshop for a super price and I am including a great free bonus along with the workshop audio. Right now- you can get the workshop on audio for $37 (that is a $140 savings from the live workshop at regular price) and I am giving you  5 hours of coaching interviews on mp3 recordings for free- that is five hours of my guest expert interviews with other coaches and lifestyle experts  (an over $400 value) (this offer expires July 31). Consider what writing a book could mean for you in your life, your business, and your career. Wouldn’t you love to get started on your book? ….And finish?For more information on this limited time offer- Click Here

Choose Success
Barbara Hofmeister's new book "To Be or Not to Be. The Choice is Yours" is
available now. Order through this link to get 47 SUCCCESS gifts. http://MegaSuccessDay .

"The little girl was standing tiptoe on the old brown sofa that served as her bed at night. She pressed her cheek against the window pane trying to look down the five stories to the busy street below. But as much as she craned her head, their little attic room was too high up and the window too small to see what was going on below. She signed and slipped down again behind the kitchen table. She really wished her mother would be home to keep her company and help her with her homework. But Mom was still at work and when she finally came home she would be much too tired to be any fun. Since they had fled East Germany life had changed dramatically. Nobody had time for her anymore and she had left all her friends behind. No more roaming the countryside with her German Sheppard, no more feeding and teasing the chickens with her best friend Christine, no more climbing fences and trees with her cousins. No more beautiful pink little girls room, no more warm kitchen with Mummy cooking her favorite dinner, no more laughter
with Grandma who could tell such lovely stories. There seemed to be nothing anymore...

"Not even Sunday morning tickling sessions with Dad.

Tears started running down her cheeks. She didn't understand - WHY?
Why did they have to leave???
They had everything before - their own house, a car, even a TV and a telephone - the only one in the village. They had it ALL and loads of friends and a loving family. Why change this for nothing?

"Now they only had this small, ugly attic room which served as home to all 3 of them. Not even a bathroom, just a sink and the toilet was 2 floors down. Her Dad said it had to do. Maybe he didn't mind so much. He was away all week. He worked as a truck driver and only came home Friday night or even Saturday morning and left again on Sunday. Maybe for him it was ok but somehow she didn't think so because there was no laughter when he was at home and his nerves seemed frayed. And almost every Saturday he took Mummy to the cinema. He said it was to let his little girl sleep. Why couldn't he understand that she would rather not sleep then be alone -once again.

"Sometime she thought he did not love her anymore. How else could she explain the harassed look on his face, their continuous arguments about her education and about money. That definitely was a problem. There never seemed to be enough of it. She knew it was the reason why they both worked so much but she didn't care. She wanted her life back, she wanted her family and friends back.

"Today the little girl is an 'big' girl. Her name is Barbara and in this book you will get to know her because the little girl was me. My parents escaped from East Germany when I was 8. My father in the trunk of a car, my mother and I through Berlin. We arrived in the West with just a small case and the equivalent of 400 Dollars.

"In those days there was plenty of work but no housing. All large cities, were the work was, had been bombed out during the war. It took my parents almost 20 years of hard labor before they had again what we left behind in Communist Germany but my father was convinced that it had been worth it.

"Why? Because it had given him what was most precious to him - the freedom to live his dream, the dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur.

"When you are a little girl, you cannot understand that but when you are a big girl like me today, you know how important the freedom to choose is. Today I am very grateful that my father made this painful decision - also for me -and through it gave me the opportunity to live my own dream, and part of my dream is to empower you to live yours. If you let me, I will help you transform your life into the life of your dreams - taking one step at the time."

It's the Thought That Counts
Hello friends,
I just have to share:
25 Success and Happiness thought leaders from around the world (including yours truly) have come together in this beautiful free ebook- It's the Thought That Counts.

Here is a message from my dear friend and author Chantal Beaupre:

"TO ALL HAPPINESS SEEKERS:
Hi there! My name is Chantal Beaupre, and my passion is to provide men and women who are ready to raise their level of happiness and improve the quality of their lives with practical tools, challenging ideas, resources, and helpful information. Being myself a voracious happiness seeker, I realized that being happy from the inside out can be accomplished by learning from the masters—those who have blazed the trail for others to follow.
As a matter of fact, learning from the masters can accomplish two immediate goals for us, which are:
1.Saving us years of research, study, and expense
2.Helping us to finally discover what works—and what doesn’t!—so that in this lifetime, we can experience unconditional and sustainable happiness in our lives
After intense research, I have personally and carefully hand-picked 24 leading experts to give you insights, secrets, and proven tips designed to help you FEEL happier, BE happier... and STAY happier."

"Sheri Kaye Hoff is one inspirational woman! I had the honor of being an expert speaker on one of her amazing telesummits and made an immediate connection with her. She knows what people want to hear. She is passionate about helping people create change in their lives, and she is someone I'm going to keep my eye on! With her strength and compassion, she holds the power to really make a difference in this world, and that difference is already evident in all that she is and all that she does!"

"I can really recommend this book to anyone - Thank you for sharing your awesomeness with the world, Sheri!"

"Sheri - I can only imagine how your clients must feel after having sessions with you if they are anything like this uplifting and empowering book of yours; "Living Successfully and Joyfully Everyday: 90 Days of Inspiration"! I'm a huge believer in writing things down, and so I especially loved the journaling exercises throughout the book, and I know they will help others get unstuck and clear. This book will definitely help people to become more aware of thought patterns and beliefs, and by becoming conscious of them, also being able to change them for something much better. I most certainly can tell you, that if you want to, you can by implementing the wisdom that Sheri shares in her book, change your life within 90 days to something pretty amazing!
I can really recommend this book to anyone - Thank you for sharing your awesomeness with the world, Sheri!
