A Noble Mentor pledges oneself to developing self-knowledge, self-honesty, and self-acceptance, and has come to the recognition that this work of personal evolution now requires the component of serving another for progress to continue. Noble Mentoring elevates mentoring and coaching by holding the highest expectation of the mentor. As role models, it is crucial that we practice and apply in our own lives the same techniques and skills we are teaching our mentees. This integrity is the only way for a mentor to truly be effective, for we can only take our client as far as we are willing and able to go ourselves. We must walk the walk if we are to guide another. We must face our own sufferings and challenges if we are to truly understand another. And we must continue to strive to learn and change if we are to grow alongside another. In this context, Noble Mentoring becomes a path of mutual growth, where both people in the mentoring relationship are intentionally working to become better versions of themselves. The mentee receives support and perspective from the mentor, and the mentor learns how to facilitate this process of maturation. In time, the mentee will gain the skills and capacity necessary to become a mentor themselves. In this way Noble Mentors, LLC becomes a self perpetuating organization for people to work towards self mastery within the context of service.
