Mentorship will change the world: Kam Phillips at TEDxCoMo

8:33 ms. Phillips took a risk in order to find a mentor, this risk was asking someone higher up than her to be her mentor. Dunno if this helps but hope someone in careers 12 finds it useful

This exceptional presentation held my attention and gave me more inspiration as a mentor. 75 likes and 0 dislikes says it all! God bless you.

[@jaidinna.m9549]

how did this hold your attention

[@Mentorch]

I love this video and I believe that mentorship will change the world as well. I would not be where I am today without the mentors in my life. I think that if you have reached success then you should turn around and pass the torch of knowledge. Every single one of us will leave this planet one day and I'm not talking about going to Mars. When we leave this earth we will not take anything with us but we can leave behind a lasting legacy that will out last any material contribution.

[@theresainspiration9334]

Mentorch I really agree with you... I am apart of a organization that is involve in Mentorship and it change my life totally... it not not all about the money that comes with it but when you have a mentor in your life that teaches positivity and push you to be the best version of yourself..take an interest in you to shape your destiny, fulfill your dreams and goals, break that curse of poverty, its just a blessing to my mentors in my life...if anyone that would love getting mentorship with some successful business owners that will help you change your [e-mail] email me
