How to Get a Mentor - Tedx Talk from Ellen Ensher

[@Atlanta718]

1. Know thyself - Who are you? - What are you good at? 2. Reflect on - Who do you want to be when you grow up? - Who do you want to be like? Who do you admire? - One is not enough, get multiple people to bounce ideas off of - Go to peers, do research about pay, ask for it. 3. Connect with courage - Make a target list of who you want to connect with - Learn about them and get an introduction - Make a connection and create a ritual - Have a song, dance, mantra, prayer, etc. To give you courage 20 minutes a week/ 3 weeks Who can help you with challenges? Run a marathon and advance in your career

[@boriskeugabe440]

Thanks for the summary

[@Galvez662]

Wow, pretty happy I came across this Tedx Talk; it has some great information in it. I agree that having a mentor is very important in today's society. Whether it's a someone far away or someone you know close to you, find those people to build your network.

[@EastonTV]

Great TED talk. Mentors make a WORLD of a difference.

[@rohinimalhotra6931]

Very confident and natural speaker

[@advisorymentoring1764]

Totally agree. One needs a mentor and often you need more than one mentor

[@richardmallion7140]

I've had several mentors over the years and learned a large amount of valuable lessons from each and every one of them. From not making certain business decisions to fostering certain partnerships, a mentor can help guide you through your entrepreneurial journey.

[@jlbpreston1]

Excellent presentation. Light-hearted yet filled with practical advice for acquiring and nurturing mentoring relationships. I will be applying Dr. Ensher's advice as I pursue mentors to assist me with my personal and professional development. Thanks.

[@westerngirl86]

This video really helped me make the first steps towards finding mentors in a new state! Great video!

[@stickerberrybush]

Great talk and very good ideas which I plan to use. Also “If I were brave” is a beautiful song! Sing your heart out!

[@lifementorandre7963]

The right Mentor is very beneficial for personal growth with is connected to emotional intelligence, etc.

[@kathesegall4354]

Good Tedx video, and nice advice Ellen. I think I need about 10 more mentors. I only have 5 right now. Thanks for the tips and for helping me realize it's not easy.

[@mariamayub212]

Really really great presentation and a lot of good information. Thank you so much!

[@ellenensher2157]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting and your kind words.

Man, I loved this book. I really enjoyed it. Every Dostoevsky book is a moral theme masquerading as a fictional sketch. I'm glad you didn't like it. You're not feeding the echo chamber, but being genuine, I believe. One thing I'll say is, the book did seem bereft of good quotes.

[@urszulacioleszynska3376]

Thank you Ellen for great explanation of mentoring You are owsome!!

[@Naijamomlifeqmoves]

Very well explained. Thank you.

[@BeginningOfTheDreams]

Hi Dan, thank you again for sharing with us your experience. It’s something that is helping a lot of people, including me. I have a question as currently, I’m working for a big corporation as a consultant. I have decided it’s time to live the life that I was born for and help other people and their businesses. I’ve been passionate about IT since I was 14 (writing software in my head as the computers were too expensive) but on the way, other passions came along. The problem I’m facing is I’m very passionate about more than 1 thing, IT & Every-Angle-Life-Automation, motorcycles, water-sports and I love to train and couch people (mostly life, business and technology training and mentoring). I have started to use Trello board where I have listed 7 projects (from HIGH to LOW priority). 3 are in HIGH (would love to launch MVP at Spring) and I fell that I have to do it! Getting to the point! 1. I feel like doing 3 projects at the same time, outsourcing some of the IT work. All successful people are saying focus on 1 thing. What do you think? 2. Would you recommend finding an angel investor? I heard that “exit strategy” sooner or later will leave you some money but the investor will take your project away. True? If so a bit sad vision. Thank you, Dan, for your support. One day I will pay that off that to you and others by helping them to achieve their dreams faster and better.

She is a great speaker and she's so informative!

hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out how to attract money and success try Tarbetti Secret Success Tutor (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.

[@Ejodia1]

Very insightful, I got value. Thanks alot

[@eonebeck3228]

Thank you so much, Ellen, for putting yourself out there despite the people that will always seek to put you down. I just read your profile on MMLafleur and appreciated your story. Off topic, but I love love love the ruffled jacket you were wearing in this Ted talk. Can you tell me what designer? I am an attorney and would love this look in my wardrobe.

[@bruceseah]

Thank you for sharing. God bless you!

[@hadilthoughts6809]

1. Know urself 2.know ur growing parts 3.one mentor is not enough 4.you need to ask 5.you need a network of mentors 6.make a targrt list 7.Make a courage ritual before connecting with anyone

[@jpjp9111]

My dad was my hero. I lost him before I knew that I needed a mentor. I have a question. How do I connect with someone I admire who is a billionaire CEO? Is it even a reality?

[@SamA-cw3be]

First step is to get in contact.they can’t mentor you if they don’t know you!

[@cb5284]

same here! I doubt however, Tony Stark will agree to mentor me. He is got his hands full with Peter Parker.

[@elishawhite7487]

If they attend something regularly or are in a community for example a synagogue near me has a very wealthy community with 1 or 2 billionaires so if you wanted to get to know them join something that they go to

[@Blackfilmguild]

TedX does a great job prepping the speakers.

[@esthermgbe7655]

I really need a mentor 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What HR Director calls a candidate and tells her my CEO had sex with a girl that looks like you? is she kidding herself?

[@markmcnamara87]

Mom love the vid but uh I think you should listen to me and steve more often! Also great job actually awesome job considering you had to do this twice because of the mike! Also very true I did say I was awesome at everything and it is true but tuh I don't ever think I will be humble......... from now to 14! l! I love the time machine. How do you like margaritas? That is funny she gee you 100 dollars an hour! Like the song but I could get the tune right! Love you Mom

[@TonyDQT]

Lol the lesson learned here is that you need to befriended HR!!!

[@william5356]

I love mentor 💙 ❤️ ♥️ 💛 💕 💗.

[@laurawoodward3046]

Sounded great until she said she was earning $50 an hour so asked for $100 an hour and they said okay straight away. I burst out laughing! If only it really was that easy. You can ask for a pay increase and even if you deserve it's highly unlikely you 'll get anything let alone double!!!

[@calebpaddack7450]

+Laura Woodward That's why you should always be aggressive in the position you have so you can be noticed or have the potential at moving up. Every time I have taken a new job I was able to get a 40% higher salary based off the last jobs experience.

[@386fishing5]

Nah it's true that you need to ask for more money from your clients. Notice this is your clients not your boss, it's not the same likely hood. But you shouldn't be afraid to ask your boss for a raise either if you feel you are worth it.

[@ridzymissy]

It happened for me! It was how I thought I never got what I deserved because I never asked. But I was given the due when I asked..

[@Ebizzill]

she lucked out to find someone who offered to mentor her without her even asking for it.

[@marianomanto]

If MONEY is the way you measure your work, you dont need a mentor, you need a slap in the face

[@javierrodriguez8549]

Mariano Manto Well money isnt the way to measure your work

[@esrat2508]

I don't think you can find a mentor without giving them something unfortunately

[@ricardodomingos75B]

You definitely need to bring some value to them as well

she sounds like the SNL Kim Kardashian

She sounds like a complete airhead. What she has to say may be interesting, but her tone, voice and delivery makes her sound like she's not to be taken seriously. **clicks away from video.
