New Episode: Practicing Cultural Humility in the Mentoring Relationship
Phoenix, AZ February 27, 2025. Mentorship is a transformative journey, but truly impactful mentoring requires an ongoing commitment to understanding and honoring diverse perspectives. In the latest episode of the Mentorship Blueprint Podcast, host Mark sits down with guest Felicia to explore the concept of cultural humility and its essential role in mentoring.
Unlike cultural competency, which implies mastery of cultural knowledge, cultural humility is a lifelong practice of self-reflection, openness, and learning. Mark and Felicia discuss how mentors can develop deeper awareness of their own biases, recognize power imbalances in mentoring relationships, and create space for mentees to feel valued and heard. By fostering a mentoring environment rooted in cultural humility, mentors empower young people to embrace their identities and build confidence in their abilities.
Whether you’re an experienced mentor or just beginning your journey, this episode provides valuable insights and practical strategies for practicing cultural humility in every interaction. Tune in to learn how to cultivate meaningful, inclusive mentoring relationships that uplift and support the next generation.
