This week, we’ve been listening to Preston Smiles on The School of Greatness podcast and thinking about the relationships we’re building with the people around us.
Of course The Apprentice Program and The Simplifiers believe in mentoring and empowering others but we also strongly believe that it’s a two-way street. Actually, when you’re doing it right, we KNOW it is.

If you want to be in a tribe that is supportive and empowering – practice being supportive and empowering! Your tribe benefits but you will too.
you get to cement your knowledge
Ever had to explain how to do something and found it becoming it clearer as you do? Want to learn something? Teach it someone else!
get a confidence boost
Sharing insights and teaching others gives you an amazing boost – and not just from the thanks and compliments you’ll get! Mentoring reminds you how much you already know and how much you’ve grown. Perfect when you’re having a crisis of confidence and feeling like you’re not good enough.
you learn too!
Like we said, this is a two-way street. You’re not just passing on all the knowledge you worked for – you’re learning too! Reverse mentoring gives you the opportunity to improve and learn about topics that you need to work on. Plus sometimes we just need another perspective to help us find innovative solutions.
So what are you practising? What kind of tribe are you building?
