9. 11 Questions To Ask A Mentor

Hidden Potential with Homer Hargrove

Big thought: One of the best ways to tap into your hidden potential is by learning how to see problems before they become YOUR problems. History repeats itself because we don't take the time to learn from the mistakes of people before us. Rather than waiting for someone to give you unsolicited advice, go out and ask people whom you admire about their lives and what they’ve learned. 11 questions to ask your mentor or role model What was your greatest obstacle? Who else would you recommend for me to connect with? What mistakes have you made? What's one question you wished you asked earlier? What accomplishments are you most proud of? What's the greatest piece of advice that you've gotten? What's the greatest lesson you've learned from a failure? What are you learning right now? What advice would you give to someone just starting out? What is the greatest change you've made as a leader? If you could do anything differently, what would it be? Take away: Make a list of 3-5 people to set up 1-on-1 meetings with in order to ask these questions. (Bring a visible writing notepad to take notes). Out of the people you listed, ask their permission to set up recurring meetings so that they can coach and mentor you. (If they all decline, make another list and repeat the steps until you have 1-3 people who agree to coach or mentor you.) Answer these questions yourself and make tangible decisions and changes in your life according to your answers. Leave a rating and review for this show!
