President's Message - Call to Action – Become a Mentor
Do you want your leadership to matter? Do you desire to leave your mark on the world and build a legacy? Consider the benefits of mentoring, not just for the benefit of those who seek your guidance, but for your own self-worth and happiness. Experts say mentorship helps us feel connected to others and the world, something that we all need after the past two and a half years of isolation. It provides satisfaction and value that is more powerful than money or possessions. Mentors, as they guide and teach, typically feel a sense of productivity and pride from making an impact in the world. Here are five mentorship skills to develop personal growth and in turn your career:
Regarding mentoring, Benjamin Disraeli, a British statesman and novelist said, “the greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.” And perhaps this is the greatest good you can do for yourself in return by becoming a mentor. Our chapter is partnering with the University of Calgary – Continuing Education and International Professional Programs. We are looking to provide mentorship to students in post-secondary studies focusing on Business Analysis. Please consider giving not only your time, but yourself. As a mentor, you gain continuing development units to use for your IIBA® recertification. Please consider becoming a mentor to a person studying in the field of Business Analysis. Please contact Mentor@Calgary.IIBA.org if you are interested in participating. Thank you, Reg Cracknell, |
