Lessons Learned through Traditional Mentorship

Season 6 · Episode 98

Thursday, March 4, 2021 • Duration 25:35

Activating the Four Types of Mentorship

When Her Story of Success CEO Leah Glover Hayes was looking for mentorship to help her grow in her career and eventually start a company, she quickly realized that not all mentorship is created equally. And while experts tend to agree that mentorship makes a major difference in determining someone’s career success and fulfillment, few people are sharing specifics about how to find the right mentor and build a mutually beneficial relationship.

Leah believes that there are four types of mentorship: Passive mentorship, peer mentorship, traditional mentorship and mentoring others. No matter where you are in your career journey, you can benefit from implementing one or all of these in your life. In this four-part series, Leah will provide you with all the tools and resources you need to start seeking out mentorship for yourself.

In This Episode: Leah shares some of the life-changing lessons she’s learned from mentors in her life, including Pat Shea, Marcie Allen Van Mol and Sherry Deutschmann. She also offers practical advice to anyone looking to find traditional mentors for their own lives and careers.

Episode Highlights:

Why traditional mentorship matters (02:00)
Inspiring business lessons with Sherry Deutschmann (04:12)
Setting boundaries and optimizing your schedule with Marcie Allen Van Mol (10:23)
Building a mutually beneficial mentoring relationship with Pat Shea (14:27)
How to find a mentor (18:50)

BONUS EPISODE - Kathleen Burns Kingsbury: Achieving Expert Status

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, May 22, 2018 • Duration 28:37

In this bonus episode hosted by past Her Story of Success guest Rita Mitchell and recorded before a live studio audience at a women and wealth conference in Nashville, Kathleen Burns Kingsbury talks about how she made the journey from clinical psychology to financial empowerment counseling, becoming a published author with nothing more than a copy of “Writing for Dummies”, and the overlap between self-esteem and financial success.

As a wealth psychology expert, Kathleen believes financial success isn’t just about how much money you have in the bank. Just as important are our thoughts and feelings about money that shape our financial decisions. An internationally published author and speaker, Kathleen has devoted her career to empowering women and the financial advisers who serve them by training them to examine their money talk mindset and feel more comfortable talking openly about money. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, PBS News Hour, Money Magazine, TODAY Money, Forbes, and CNBC.

Thank you to First Tennessee Bank for letting us interview Kathleen during your conference and share the conversation with our audience!

Rita Mitchell: Overcoming the Nos

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 • Duration 50:33

Rita Mitchell (IG: @ritapmitchell_oyp) summarizes her story with one word – determination. And her career proves it. A 35 year veteran of the financial services industry, Rita went from being told she didn’t have enough experience to be a waitress at Red Lobster to a top executive at First Tennessee Bank, breaking barriers at every step along the way. In that time, she passed the Series 7 broker exam with a 6 month old baby, started her own financial advisory company, and left all of her doubters in the dust.

In this special live episode, Rita talks about the struggles of being an African-American female in a traditionally male-dominated industry, the value of recognizing your potential, and how the succession of "nos" she faced motivated her to teach other women to say yes to opportunity.

Courtney Whitmore: Turning a passion into a lifestyle brand

Season 1 · Episode 6

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 • Duration 29:28

After finishing college, Courtney Whitmore (IG:@pizzazzerie) took a safe, secure job as a career counselor, but she soon realized she wanted something entirely different — a creative pursuit where she could be her own boss. Looking back on that time in her life, she says, “I knew I wanted to work for myself but I didn’t know what that looked like.” Since hosting dinner parties was a favorite activity, she decided to launch a website in 2010 to focus on entertaining and party planning. Today that website, Pizzazzerie.com, is the centerpiece of Courtney’s expanding role as an entertaining expert, one whose food styling and tablescapes are in demand by companies from Target and HGTV to Lindt Chocolates.

In this episode, Courtney tells us about starting a job in an industry that doesn’t exist yet, managing her brand’s social media presence, the ways in which her definition of success has changed over time and the importance of what she calls the Monday Morning Test — “If what you are doing doesn’t get you up and out of the bed on Monday morning, then you shouldn’t be doing it.
