I learn everywhere but most importantly, from my experience: what I hear, what I do and from others. I love to listen to people like The past president of Ghana, John Mahama, Maerin Luther King Jr and Baerack Obama among others. They have a sense that brings you to the experience they want you to have. I give to motivate, you need to have the ability to let your listeners see beyond the words you speak. When you relate with what you say, it resonates in a different way

Finding a mentor is one important but difficult task and on top of that finding a mentor right for you is even more difficult. One can start as below: - Have a rigid insight on which field you want to actually focus on. - Make a list of potential speakers on the field of interest. - Start research on their stories, their delivered speeches or anything that can be relevant to you. - Finally, decide who influenced you the most and use the research data to finally decide your mentor.

After completing the research on the list of potential mentors one has to reach out to them. Email is the best formal way to reach out. Phone or social media can also be used but many people prefer email over direct call or personal social media.

4 Establish expectations and boundaries

If a potential mentor agrees to meet with you, you need to establish expectations and boundaries for the mentoring relationship. You need to discuss how often you will communicate, what mode of communication you will use, what topics you will cover, what feedback you will give and receive, and what outcomes you will measure. You also need to respect your mentor's time, privacy, and expertise, and avoid overstepping your limits or taking advantage of their generosity.

Once a potential mentor agrees for further connection make sure to define your expectations and boundaries. Plan everything ahead on how you will be meeting or connecting, what topics will you discuss about and how will you measure or evaluate the outcome of this connection.

5 Learn and apply

The most important part of having a mentor is to learn from them and apply what they teach you. You need to be open-minded, curious, and humble, and listen to your mentor's advice, insights, and stories. You also need to be proactive, accountable, and committed, and act on your mentor's suggestions, challenges, and assignments. You need to show your mentor that you appreciate their guidance, that you are making progress, and that you are willing to grow as a motivational speaker.

6 Give back and appreciate

Finally, having a mentor is not a one-way street. You need to give back and appreciate your mentor for their time, effort, and wisdom. You can do this by offering your skills, services, or referrals to your mentor, by sharing your success stories and testimonials with them, by acknowledging their contribution to your growth, or by sending them a thank-you note or a gift. You can also pay it forward by becoming a mentor to someone else who needs your help as a motivational speaker.
