"The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image but giving them the opportunity to create themselves." – Steven Spielberg
In January of this year, on a complete whim, i created this concept i called The Hippie CEO Club.
The idea was to create an open invitation, for anyone to book a 30 minute mentoring call with me, to talk about anything they wanted to talk about. i created one 30-minute slot every Friday. No charge. No expectations. Just kind of a way for me to “give back” if you will.
i didn’t know if it would generate much interest but before i knew it, i was booked every Friday through the end of July 🤯
i have come to really look forward to these Friday calls. All of them have been incredibly unique and amazing. The topics we have covered have ranged from analytics to entrepreneurship to career growth to finding purpose.
While some of my experiences have proven valuable to the people i have chatted with, what i have discovered is that this time has really been a journey of self-discovery for people. i have found myself simply being an active listener, observing these amazing people uncover insights, potential, and purpose that has always been there but perhaps just ever so slightly out of view.
The sessions have been incredible valuable for me as well. Not one has gone by that i haven’t learned something new from, that i haven’t gained some inspiration from. i’m truly blessed to have this amazing opportunity.
i’m not sure what the future holds for this little experiment but if nothing else, i hope i have helped inspire others to perhaps do something similar. Maybe not the same format but some unique way to give back, to inspire.
