Mentoring originated from the poem Odyssey, written around the 12th century BC by Homer. Modern mentoring with well-defined rules and boundaries is the most effective way of impacting a young person.
Formal mentoring programs organized by employers ensure younger employees feel supported in their career growth. The rewards felt by the mentor are also pivotal, including learning new technology skills, improved leadership skills, and boosted confidence.
The mentor/mentee relationship allows two individuals to form a caring professional relationship. They collaborate and set realistic goals to keep the mentee on track to reach them. The mentor offers practical advice, and stories on how they have handled similar issues. Beyond initial training, the mentor provides practical resources and referrals to help the mentee get past challenges.
Organizations that invest in mentorship programs can reach exponential growth. Certifying your mentorship program will enable you to recruit employees who want to grow and be supported to grow as professionals. Let us show you how!

In 2020 when the world shut down, it was scary. We all felt so removed and forced to do things that went against our being. We were shoved into our homes and we were isolated and taken out of our communities that made us feel solid.
Some of us lost jobs, many lost hope, and some even lost loved ones. As a society, we didn’t know what to do. Anxiety has become the norm for so many of us. In Michelle's Emotional Resilience/ Post COVID Healing Workshop, we pause to process our individual trauma caused from COVID-19 and build sovereignty over self which will help your team create emotional resilience over whatever life throws at us next.
Increase your intercultural effectiveness. In essence, we all have the potency to adapt to any cultural pattern. Yet in interaction with the people of the culture in which we grow up, we learn the dominant pattern of that culture. Hence we develop habits regarding how we perceive, judge, and act. We tend not to recognize we are doing everything from a certain cultural point of view until we feel tension in our interaction with our environment. This often happens when we encounter people with different cultural patterns. Only then do we realize how difficult it is for us to change our view, even if we want to.
Our Intercultural Intelligence Workshop uses a holistic view of human identity. We do not isolate i.e. one’s nationality as a ‘cause’ of behavior. Instead, we take one’s entire cultural heritage as a starting point, which is a combination of national culture, business, profession, education, and many other influences. We arouse awareness of participant's preferences and tempt them to be appreciative of those of others while remaining authentic. We do this by stimulating self-exploration and building on strengths, using techniques such as creative perception and postponing judgment.
Our unique approach to determinihg your organization's "why," starts with accessing intrapersonal needs and wants and then experessing them through artistic immersion. The goal is to come up with your group's vision, mission statement, and core values in a genuine way so your team members can all have authentic buy-in. Debra Lee Murrow guides your executive team through a journey filled with 'ah-ha moments.' In the end, all will understand that your 'why' carries a bigger purpose as you collaboratively identify ways you can give back to your local community through non-profit partnership.
Through live painting, Debra will create a COLORME canvas artwork in real-time, illustrating key concepts as she engages your team members in interactive learning. Attendees will engage in kinesthetic note-taking, and sketching to reinforce understanding. The customized content will address the specific principles and concepts crucial to your success to leave teammembers with a lasting impact and buy-in of the overall consulting journey that SJM offers.
Debra's unique approach to audience engagement combines interactive elements, visual art, and lasting mementos. This multi-faceted approach ensures that the audience remains engaged during the presentation and leaves with a lasting connection to the event's message.
