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

Had the privilege of learning from the incredible Carole Robin, who shared invaluable wisdom on how to build exceptional relationships, inspired by her book Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, and Colleagues via Stanford Continuing Studies. One concept that really resonated with me was the "Three Realities" in every exchange between two people: Reality One: Our own needs, motives, and intentions. Reality Two: The behavior we display in public. Reality Three: How our behavior impacts others. These insights will be instrumental as I refine my upcoming course, "Unlocking the Power of Conversation." Looking forward to weaving this powerful framework into my teaching. #Day1Attitude

The ACC Credentialing Exam (ACE) is coming. Are you ready? ICF is introducing the new ACC Credential Exam, moving away from the situational judgment exam to a knowledge-based exam for those seeking their ACC Credential, so I decided to create the ACE course to help you prepare. This is a more traditional knowledge-based exam. So I created 10 Sample Questions in a timed exam format for you to play with for free and then I added 60 more knowledge-based questions in 2 timed exams to support your preparation for the upcoming exam. November 14 is a month away! And here’s what the ACE course will give you so you can prepare: - The first 5 modules are packed with useful resources. - 10 sample knowledge-based questions in a timed exam situation with feedback. Gain confidence and achieve your professional goals with our ACE ICF Credentialing Exam Course ✨💖✨ If you want more, we will be having live webinars each month, and you can access more resources as well as the timed 60 Question Exam. Join Matthew Cintron-Quiñones, MCC, BCC, SPHR, SHRM-SCP and I to get the support you need. https://lnkd.in/gAsyXRVk #acc #icf #icfcredential #icfexam #professionalcoach #coachtraining #coah #onlinecoach

Proud to be #18 of 18 tips to help coaching clients stay accountable for making progress. My suggestion: -- Position accountability as a reward. When you can view accountability as a reward rather than a punishment, you'll have a greater sense of ownership and you'll pay more attention to your outcomes. Plus, when you make progress and acknowledge yourself, you'll get a hit of dopamine—the feel-good hormone—which will make you want to continue to work toward your goals. And you'll continue to grow and develop. This tip is backed by neuroscience along my own experience working with my accountability partner Diana Del Bel Belluz. (We've been working together weekly since 2007 -- except for vacations -- to keep each other accountable, which I wrote about in this Forbes Coaches Council post: https://bit.ly/3JhdLrk) And check out all the new 17 other valuable accountability tips, thanks to my colleagues from the Forbes Coaches Council here: #accountablity #reward #progress #achievement #dopamine https://bit.ly/3SOnPw9
