In just one example of mentorship within MHQ, Gloria Teigland, our Credentialing Coordinator, shares about working with Mike Swan, our Membership Manager. Beyond specific knowledge needed to do the job, he’s taught her a life skill she’ll use far beyond MHQ:
“As a mentee, I have learned many skills working with Mike at MHQ, but perhaps the most important one has been learning to trust myself and my capability to solve problems when they arise.
“As a younger individual working in the corporate world, I sometimes put pressure on myself to figure things out as fast as possible. Mike has helped me to identify when it’s better to take a step back to think more clearly.
“Recently, a situation arose that needed solving quickly and of course, Mike happened to be out of the office. Before my mentorship with him, I may have felt a sense of panic. Instead, I took a step back and saw that I was able to resolve the issue with accuracy and promptness on my own.
“Being able to put trust in myself to solve the issue helped me to see what I am capable of.
“Mike has been amazing in the way he takes time out of his day to help me work through different challenges. Learning how to approach problems with a sense of clarity and confidence has helped me to solve individual predicaments efficiently and has been life-changing for my career.”
