<strong>Mentoring</strong> <strong>Future</strong> <strong>Leaders</strong><br />

Change is often so stressful that people prefer to remain in their comfort<br />

zones. Mentors can help mentees to make changes in small steps and to<br />

expand their range of healthy coping mechanisms.<br />

Example:<br />

A retrenched person who continues to think of himself as a victim, may<br />

block other options, get discouraged, or turn to alcohol or drugs for comfort.<br />

A mentor can help the mentee envision and become comfortable with a<br />

different future, such as for instance becoming a computer expert.<br />

However, professional help may sometimes be required.<br />

Application<br />

Think of an uncomfortable change that you recently experienced.<br />

How did you come to terms with it – or maybe you didn’t yet? What<br />

was the impact?<br />
