Brad Lomenick Talks Developing Credibility
Young guys, SEEK OUT mentors and training! Don’t be afraid to ask those you would like to mentor/coach you! Usually (not always, but usually) there are already people in your life who could function in that role. Who are individuals that have influenced you or that you are being influenced by now? Be specific when you ask too, How much time are you hoping the mentor can give to you? What kind of investment are you willing to put into the mentoring relationship (in terms of time and effort)?
Another thing, having a mentor/coach is not just a “young person” thing. I think it’s important to always be seeking out those with more “credibility” (in terms of the equation being discussed here than you to assist in your growth as an individual. It fits in with the whole “discipleship” paradigm that Jesus modeled.
