Lisa (Ramirez) Ames’ Post

Lisa (Ramirez) Ames and I were first matched in Women in Revenue's mentorship program because of our enthusiasm for leadership development, ABM, and demand generation. Now that we've known each other 4 years, looks like our hair is taking the same shape as well! 😅 As a mentee, having a neutral perspective on my career path and professional and personal expression has been treasured. For those considering mentorship, your impact will be immeasurable - take the leap either way: https://hubs.li/Q02hr6SQ0

While mentorship helps cultivate valuable insights, advice and knowledge for mentees, one of the biggest challenges I hear about from those considering mentoring is fear of failure. There's concern about finding the time, worries about not connecting or establishing a real rapport, or disappointing the other person because of unrealistic expectations and inadequacies. Well, it's time to face your fears because when women mentor women... leaders emerge. Embarking on a mentor/mentee relationship can be exciting and daunting, much like anything that is truly worthwhile. Signing up for a webinar like the one below is a first step in learning what to expect and getting over that fear hurdle.

“Direct, actionable feedback is a gift, but women often receive less of it….If you hold back to protect your mentee’s feelings, you’re not helping her.” Really enjoyed this quick read on mentorship; especially the line above. As a mentor/leader it’s not always easy to say the hard thing but it’s absolutely necessary for growth. I think back to my previous leaders and my mentors - they were willing to hold me accountable and give feedback that I can absolutely tie to my success today. (Maybe I didn’t always love it in the moment BUT today I see its value.) As a mentee and employee, we must give space for our mentors/leaders to speak into areas where they see we can improve. Recently, my leader/mentor shared he thought I could be more vulnerable. From my perspective, I was vulnerable but by being open to his feedback I was able to do a little self reflection and see how I could improve in this area. #mentorship #mentorshipmatters #leadershipdevelopment

Lately, mentorship has been on my mind. I have recently met an amazing person within Shift4 who has broadened my experiences and thoughts on mentor/mentee relationships. As much as she swears I am mentoring her, I am learning so much from our interactions! Learn more about how the mentors and mentees impact each other via https://lnkd.in/e6ga_pKY

So pumped to see programs like Mentorship Matters 2024 taking off! 🚀 The lineup of mentors from tech, journalism, sports, and more is seriously awesome. Now, let's talk about how this can be a game-changer for hotel companies. 🏨 Imagine you're in a hotel, and the staff is not just good at their job, but they excel in providing personalized experiences. That magic doesn't just happen – it's cultivated through mentorship. In the hotel world, having mentors can mean staff honing their skills in customer service, learning the ropes of management, and solving challenges like pros. Now, hotels are all about staying fresh, right? In an industry where trends and preferences are always shifting, mentorship becomes your secret weapon. It creates this vibe of constant learning – new ideas bouncing around, old hands sharing their wisdom. It's not just about adapting; it's about staying one step ahead. Big cheers on those mentor pairings – you guys nailed it! Can't wait to see how Mentorship Matters continues to grow. Hospitality Leaders let’s bring that extra sparkle through mentorship to our favorite hotels. It will truly make a postive impact on associate morale and retention. Ready to elevate your hotel game?
