Good Morning Onward Nation\u2026I\u2019m Stephen Woessner and welcome to this week\u2019s solocast\u2026Episode 420. My hope for you is that your week has started off with some excellent momentum, that you are checking your vital priorities off your list, that your daily work has revolved around your vital functions, and that you are measuring your activity with the right vital metrics\u2026and that everyone on your team is following your lead \u2014 your tangible example \u2014 as they witness your level of commitment to excellence in accomplishing what you set out to accomplish.

Each and every day \u2014 whether we acknowledge this reality or try to ignore it \u2014 or run from it \u2014 we we are mentoring everyone around us each day. We are mentoring when we are having a bad day \u2014 and we are mentoring when we are having a great day. In my opinion, mentorship \u2014 giving and receiving \u2014 is one of the most vital priorities for successful business owners. And here at Predictive ROI\u2026my team and I strive to be the best we can possibly be \u2014 to study mentorship \u2014 to continually learn \u2014 to watch other great mentors to uncover how they do their best work \u2014 and then apply those same strategies into our business to accelerate our performance.

My team and I are in continuous learning mode\u2026that is one of the reasons why I started our Onward Nation podcast\u2026to take our education to a completely new level \u2014 to learn from the best of the best \u2014 and it has definitely delivered. We also look to attend workshops, seminars, lectures, study books as a team, and invest a great deal of time toward one-on-one mentorship.

So when Drew McLellan, top dog at the Agency Management Institute, and three time alum here at Onward Nation, recently let my leadership team and I know about a workshop he was hosting that would focus on managing the Millennial workforce \u2014 but more specifically \u2014 the workshops would dive deep into mentorship strategies that could be applied across all generations \u2014 we were all in!

It was easy to see that the workshop would be an opportunity for us to take our mentorship capability onward to a completely new level.

And that is exactly what happened.

So for today\u2019s solocast \u2014 I am going to share several of the biggest, most tangible takeaways from the workshop. I am going to pass them on to you in full transparency so you can apply them with your team straightaway.

But before I do\u2026I want to introduce the instructor of the workshop and creator of the curriculum. His name is Mitch Matthews. You may remember Mitch and the wisdom he shared during Episode 94 of Onward Nation when he shared the powerful lesson of \u201cBe interested \u2014 not interesting\u201d.

Mitch is also a keynote speaker, a success coach, and a best-selling author. His podcast, \u201cDREAM. THINK. DO.\u201d is at the top of the iTunes charts and he has worked with leaders and teams from organizations like NASA, Disney, Booking.com, and the Principal Financial Group. Plus, Mitch speaks on college campuses around the country. He\u2019s passionate about helping entrepreneurs and leaders to dream bigger, think better, and do more of the stuff they were put on the planet to do.

Let me tell you, Onward Nation\u2026being in the classroom as one of Mitch\u2019s students \u2014 as opposed to interviewing him for our show \u2014 was like experiencing a whole\u2026new\u2026level of AWESOME!

What my leadership team and I learned from Mitch will take our mentorship and leadership here at Predictive to a completely different level.

Mitch and his curriculum were transformational \u2014 and I don\u2019t use the \u201ctransformational\u201d word lightly at all.

Our time with Mitch was so transformational that I am going to share some of my biggest takeaways with you this morning \u2014 during this solocast \u2014 so you can immediately take what we learned \u2014 and apply it directly into your mentorship sessions with your team.

You will then see the results like what we are seeing here at Predictive.
