1 Assess your expectations

The first step is to be honest with yourself and your mentor about what you want and need from the relationship. Maybe you have unrealistic or mismatched expectations that are causing frustration or disappointment. Or maybe you have different goals, styles, or preferences that are not compatible. Try to communicate clearly and respectfully with your mentor about your objectives, feedback, and progress. Ask them what they expect from you and how they can support you. If you find that there is a gap between your expectations and reality, you may need to adjust them or look for another mentor.

Si esto ocurre, solicita una reunión de seguimiento y alineación de expectativas. Revisen juntos meta por meta, formas de alcanzarla, tiempo en que eso ocurra, a partir de ahí, toma decisiones

2 Learn from their mistakes

The second step is to use your mentor's weaknesses as an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Even if your mentor is not a perfect speaker, they may still have some valuable insights, experiences, or advice that you can benefit from. Instead of focusing on their flaws, try to identify their strengths and what they do well. You can also observe how they handle challenges, criticism, or failures, and how they recover from them. You can learn a lot from how your mentor deals with their own shortcomings and how they overcome them.

?He aprendido lo valioso que es entender que TODOS nos equivocamos, solo que lo hacemos de forma diferente! Ahora, es importante validar cuánto peso le das a esos errores puntuales, y si no comulgan con tu escala de valores, te sugiero que pienses en un cambio

3 Seek other sources of learning

The third step is to diversify your sources of learning and inspiration. Your mentor is not the only person who can teach you about public speaking. You can also learn from other speakers, books, courses, podcasts, videos, or events. You can join a club, a community, or a network of people who share your interest and passion for public speaking. You can also practice your skills with different audiences, formats, and topics. By exposing yourself to a variety of perspectives, styles, and techniques, you can broaden your horizons and find your own voice.

It is not practical nor reasonable for us to expect our mentors to support us and provide guidance in every area of our career. We all have different strengths, weaknesses and experiences that we draw upon and recognizing this, and having realistic expectations of those who support us is not just practical, it is necessary. If your mentor is not able to offer guidance in public speaking, alternatives might be to ask them if they could suggest someone that you might speak with on the topic or other resource. There are also a variety of other resources available at the touch of a keyboard through a search, and perhaps seeking out another mentor, with specific subject matter expertise in the area of public speaking would be helpful.

4 Be respectful and grateful

The fourth step is to be respectful and grateful for your mentor's time, effort, and guidance. Even if your mentor is not the best speaker in the world, they are still willing to share their knowledge, experience, and feedback with you. They are also giving you a chance to grow, improve, and achieve your goals. You should appreciate their generosity and kindness, and show them that you value their input and support. You should also respect their opinions, preferences, and boundaries, and avoid being rude, arrogant, or dismissive.

5 Give constructive feedback

The fifth step is to give constructive feedback to your mentor if you feel that they can improve their public speaking skills. You may think that it is not your place to criticize or advise your mentor, but you may be surprised by how open and receptive they are to your suggestions. After all, they are also human and have room for improvement. You can offer your feedback in a polite, positive, and specific way, and focus on how they can enhance their strengths and address their weaknesses. You can also share your own experiences, challenges, or solutions, and how they helped you improve your skills.

6 Decide whether to continue or end the relationship

The sixth and final step is to decide whether to continue or end the relationship with your mentor. This is not an easy decision, and it depends on many factors, such as your goals, needs, satisfaction, and compatibility. You may find that your mentor is still a valuable asset and a positive influence in your public speaking journey, despite their flaws. Or you may find that your mentor is holding you back or harming your confidence, and that you need a change. Whatever you decide, you should do it with respect, honesty, and gratitude, and explain your reasons clearly and kindly.

Toma la decisión de seguir / renunciar a una relación de mentoría sin culpa. El hecho de que hoy ese gran mentor NO sea el que necesitas, está bien. Quizá su momento de guía contigo ya terminó y hoy tu estás en un nivel distinto que requiere un nuevo mentor con un expertise diferente
