Mentoring someone who is ready to give up.

Jul 16 (edited) • Mentoring

There is someone on my team who reached out who is ready to give up.

Their exact words were “I just want to recoup what I have already invested.”

My mind always struggles to find the exact words to turn this person around, because I have so many. And then I opened my book just now and saw this, and I found it helpful in adjusting your perspective in moving toward a successful path, so I thought I would share it here in case it could help someone else.

1) what natural born talents have others recognized in me?

2) what do I do naturally and easily that others seem to have appreciated?

3) what parts of my personality have helped open new doors?

4) what experiences have taught me something useful I didn’t know before?

5) in what settings do I find myself excelling?

6) what problems do I think I can uniquely help solve?

7) what am I good at even if I don’t yet see how to monetize it?

8) what do I love and appreciate about myself and the value I bring to the world?
