Those who hope to do the best of mentoring in their work and personal life, no matter their age or life/work experience, need to remember that learning to listen in 8 dimensions is crucial to both business and personal growth and success.

A healthy mentor will think about their mentorees as whole people, not just as projects or workers…and that begins with how a good mentor thinks about themselves and their own influence.

The best of mentoring, short or long term, whether you are mentoree or mentor, needs to be (1) intentional, encouraging one toward (2) deep change, for (3) all of who they are, their whole life, and becoming aware of living a (4) transformational life no matter their dreams, hopes and circumstances.
