Leveraging the Mentorship Factor for Effective Book Writing Dr. Michael Koku, November 2024 Author’s Forum. The Mentorship Ripple Effect: A Legacy of Growth Mentorship is more than guidance—it's a catalyst for transformation. By gaining wisdom and support from a mentor, you become empowered to inspire others. In book writing, this ripple effect turns your words into a legacy, impacting countless lives. The MENTORSHIP Advantage Using the sticky acronym MENTORSHIP, mentorship becomes a powerful tool for crafting your book: *M = Motivation: Mentors ignite the spark that pushes you beyond writer’s block and self-doubt, fueling your passion and purpose. *E = Expanded Perspectives: Mentors help you see through diverse lenses, enriching your narrative with depth and empathy. *N = Networking Opportunities: Mentors connect you with agents, editors, and publishers, opening doors you can’t alone. T = Transfer [Wisdom Transfer]: Mentors share proven strategies and insights, equipping you with tools to excel. *O = Observation: By observing mentors, you learn how to emulate their storytelling and publishing success. *R = Relationship: Trust and mutual respect create a safe space for growth and creative exploration. *S = Support: Mentors guide you through challenges, offering structure, clarity, and resilience. *H = Honest Feedback: Constructive critique polishes your work, elevating it to excellence. *I = Inspiration: Mentors fuel bold dreams and help you find your unique voice. *P = Personal Growth: Mentorship accelerates both your writing skills and professional confidence. Mentors: Architects of Success Mentors are your book’s architects, helping lay its foundation and shaping it into a masterpiece. As Shawn Hitchcock says, “A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future and believe it can be achieved.” Charting the Course with a Mentor Think of your mentor as your navigator, guiding you through the uncharted waters of book writing. As Denzel Washington noted, “Show me a successful individual, and I’ll show you someone with real positive influences.” With mentorship, your journey transforms from daunting to inspiring, with every step bringing you closer to success. Mentorship in book writing doesn’t just produce books; it builds legacies. #mentorship #bookwriting #mentorshipfactor #lampglobalcommunity

Let's talk about accountability in the workplace. In today's meeting with the Intelligent Systems Group at Southwest Research Institute, the topic is accountability. We’ll look at the elements that go into accountability including: ❇️ clear definition of expectations ❇️ communication about the task/behavior ❇️ assess progress ❇️ follow through. Follow through is the most important as it requires feedback/coaching, motivating, and sometimes having a difficult discussion. The intention is to assess where accountability can go wrong and what actions a manager can take.

Over the last 40 years, I have been an avid student, and more recently, practitioner of what has come to called "transformative" learning. I myself have participated in numerous transformational learning experiences, while layering it in those learning approaches in the work I was doing with teams and organizations, starting in the late 90s and early 2000s. This integration continued in courses I led with Lyssa Adkins Michael Spayd at the Agile Coaching Institute. In the last 6 years, I have been slowly growing a new body of work with people. This led to creating work we call "vertical facilitation". 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

In this partnership, we (Lyssa Adkins and Michael Hamman) will be able not only to broaden the impact of this work, but to continue to investigate the deep nature of vertical and transformative learning, and to more effectively communicate its developmental possibilities and potential for impact with people and in organizations. We have truly entered an era in which the old styles of education can no longer see us through. As I once heard Robert Kegan say, “Wicked problems can’t be solved; they can only be grown beyond.” If you are an accredited instructor, member organization, or certified expert within ICAgile, you can read about, and sign up for, the course we’re doing there at a discount, here: https://lnkd.in/djwJDaWj If you're curious about what this thing called "vertical facilitation" is, you can learn a lot more about it, as well as the upcoming public course (starting August 7), at theVerticalFacilitator.com (https://lnkd.in/dKUpVAmT) Hurray!!

In a recent coaching session, a client and I discussed the challenge of resolving issues without relying on quick fixes. While workarounds can provide immediate relief, they often lead to a host of long-term problems, such as increased complexity, technical debt, and security risks. #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #ProblemSolving
