16 <strong>Magazine</strong> | Newsfeed Newsfeed What’s up, in, chat-worthy, cool, covetable and compelling right now. Cult candy Fans of both Made in Chelsea and lollies generally will be thrilled to learn Ballantynes is now stocking Jamie Laing’s delicious and delightful gourmet sweet company Candy Kittens. In flavours from sour watermelon to very cherry – not to mention our pick, special edition CK LOVES ($9), a rainbow-hued explosion of blueberry, cherry, orange and strawberry – all the adorable cat-shaped candies are naturally flavoured, palm oil-free, carbon neutral and vegan. ballantynes.co.nz Clean green beersies Two much-loved Queenstown brands have joined forces for a great new partnership that’s super cool, community-minded and sustainable. Passionate craft beer makers Canyon Brewing have collaborated with the iconic Sherwood hotel to create Be Here Now Hazy Pale Ale ($9 per 440ml can), a tasty brew that puts sustainability first and supports carbon removal initiatives, from the ingredients that go into it such as barley, hops and yeast to the energy used to brew, package and deliver it. canyonfoodandbrew.co.nz Big beauty With queues stretching down Cashel on opening weekend, Mecca recently unveiled its second-largest Australasian store – an 820m 2 double-story beauty haven – in central Christchurch. The gorgeous new Mecca Christchurch delivers some of the world’s most luxurious and coveted beauty products and services that local customers already know and love, as well as an exceptional range of brands and experiences (think facial stations, fragrance consultations and in-house gift wrapping) available in the South Island for the first time. meccabeauty.co.nz
TheValue of a Mentor Recently, I was struck so much by the constant use of the word ‘mentor’ that I thought I’d do a gentle dive into the whole topic to answer some questions about something I hold as a very precious and valued act. Questions like: What does being a mentor involve? What can all parties expect from the relationship? Where can you find a mentor? These are all part of this large philosophical discussion, so let’s enter it together. A mentor is defined as someone who shares their knowledge, skill and experience to grow another person. Although it can be a commercial relationship, it doesn’t have to be. I’ve been a mentor to a significant number of people and it’s been one of the most incredible opportunities I’ve had in life. I can share that some of the relationships were short and precise, while others have lasted years, and they have helped me become a better person just as much as I hope they’ve helped the people I’ve mentored. At its core, mentoring is a relationship anchored deeply in trust and it can cover anything the party being mentored requires. The relationship is intended to uplift, encourage, inspire and guide, with the desire for growth in many areas being at its foundation. It can also challenge and caution when that’s needed. Not only is trust required, respect is also essential given it’s hard to listen to someone who says one thing whilst doing another or who doesn’t have more than a scraping of knowledge in the field that the mentee wants assistance in. I’ve had, and still have, world-class mentors. Thank you, Burt, Paul, Sarah, John and Cam. They have always uplifted me. I’ve learnt remarkable things about my profession, the world and myself, and I’ve also been pulled into line when the moment required it! I pay them enormous gratitude and respect, and it’s important that the values you all have are congruent and aligned. There are said to be three types of mentoring. Firstly, one on one. For many, this is the favoured kind of space for imparting and gaining knowledge. It also safeguards confidentiality, which all mentoring requires, and there’s something special about being one on one with someone given the busy lives most of us lead. As an aside, this would always be my preference because it means I can focus more intently on the person and the job at hand. Other mentoring can be conducted at a distance, invariably online, and here the mentor needs to ensure that they test and troubleshoot all devices. There’s nothing worse than being deep in conversation and then to have a technical issue. It reduces time and confidence, and given I’m useless at technical rescues I tend to avoid this method. There’s also a reduction in some of the clues you get when you are in a personal one on one and potentially the emotional connection that comes with mentoring. Thirdly, there are group sessions, which can work for those who learn best in a collective and collaborative way, though it can be noisy and you have to be weary of big talkers versus those that never talk. It can be tricky. A mentor in this space needs to have the skills to bring the best out in everyone whilst having great processes for following up. So, what haven’t we covered? How about where to find a mentor? It could be a matter of going online to search and there’s an extensive number of companies and individuals available all at varying price points. There’s word of mouth or recommendations, and there’s also the shoulder-tapping of friends or people you admire and trust. I’ve tended to work with people as a mentee from that perspective and I’ve never been let down. So, there you have it. Is it something you want to embrace or consider? If so, I know you’ll find it, as I have, life changing.
