The Restored Community
Be mentored
Connect with a mentor and learn from them.
Co-mentor
Develop a mentoring relationship built on mutual sharing.
Develop a personal board
A personal board of directors serves as a diverse group of both mentors and co-mentors.
The Restored Community Mentorship
A mentor is someone who is proactive with their advice. They think ahead for where their mentee is going and offers instructions and lessons they’ve learned as they walked a similar path. In a standard mentor/ mentee relationship, the mentee receives this from the mentor’s generosity.
A co-mentor relationship is one where each person in the conversation receives mentoring. They each take turns offering and receiving instructions and lessons they’ve learned along the way. Both are equally pouring into the other and equally receiving the benefit of their time, talent and treasure.
Built for leadership in community
You’re eager to connect with other leaders who care about all aspects of your life – personal and professional.
Serve and be served through:
Time
Mentors devote a minimum of 3 hours per week for the good of their co-mentor or mentee. Restored Community members are intentional with their time and use it wisely for the good of the leaders they’re connected to.
Talent
A mentor’s leadership gifts make their presence invaluable. Restored Community members are devoted to sharing their unique gifts from their experience and connections.
Treasure
In a Restored Community mentor relationship, you will give your resources according to your mentor’s charity or cause of choice. Restored Community members care for their mentors, and believe in the impact of shared generosity.
How We Embody Core Values in Mentorship Relationships
Redeem your Core
Your Core Values are undeniable truths that reflect how you see yourself and make sense of the world. Bringing a mentor into this journey of redemption will strengthen your own Core Values and help you grow in understanding theirs.
Protect your Core
To protect your Core, you must develop rhythms of rest. Working with a mentor will help you become more honest about the way you’re pursuing rest and develop healthier rhythms for work and rest.
Live your Core
When you consciously allow your Core Values to guide your conversations and thought processes, your character shines. You can learn to make confident decisions that are consistent with your Core Values and also exist in harmony with your community.
