MENTORSHIP REVIEWS:
I just have to say that everything that we talked about for the hour session hit home in a good way! Made me even more motivated to step it up a few notches. The suggestions and encouragement is priceless and I have already jumped in headfirst with making some changes that were suggested. I have had suggestions and idea’s passed to me before on things I could be doing, and it was nice to have you validate them. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! You are truly an inspiration and a peer that I admire! Keep up your awesomeness and I can’t wait for what is to come.

Hey! Thanks so much for the mentorship session. When we finished talking I felt so positive and inspired. I immediately mapped out some short term goals that I do believe are achievable :) Thanks a bunch for you time and also for the helpful links. Thanks again! Who knows…I may need another session (or two)!

We talked last night and I was completely overwhelmed by my huge to-do list at the end of our mentoring session. I walked away from it, came back this morning, spent 15 minutes writing a plan of action for the day/week just like you recommended and now I’m on fire! I am so motivated to just do it now that I know which way is up! It’s awesome working with you. Before the first time we talked I dreaded the meeting because I felt like you were going to point out all of the things I was doing wrong and I’d feel deflated. It’s been the exact opposite. You share resources, suggest solutions to my roadblocks, and our conversations spark new ideas. I’m so glad I took the plunge. :]
