Episode 31 - Becoming a Thriving Mentor - a podcast by MOPS Leaders

Jennifer Iverson and guest Kelli Jordan answer the question, “What does thriving as a mentor look like, especially in a setting like MOPS or MOMSnext?”  As a mentor, we have the challenge to thrive ourselves and the opportunity to help others thrive, too.  

A thriving mentor will: 

• Show up by being present and setting boundaries. 
• Speak up by celebrating others, being honest about ourselves, being slow to take offense, give advice or join in on pity parties. 
• Stand up by being an advocate for MOPS, moms and our church. 

 After listening, consider how you are already showing up, speaking and standing up as a mentor and then consider what else you could do. Take the next step into what God has designed for you as a mentor and bring what only you can bring to it.
