"The noble mentor is a servant of evolution"

Welcome to Noble Mentors LLC

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.

Key Elements of Noble Mentoring

Connection and Relationship

An intentional relationship where honesty, authenticity, and integrity are present is the most potent means of development that we know of. We prioritize a relational approach in working with our clients where mutual learning and growth can take place in the context of meaningful connection.

Vision and Values

It is the vision for our future and the values we hold that ​guide our lives and imbue it with meaning and purpose. We spend time with every client defining and refining their core values and vision for the future so these can function as the compass and map in our work together.

Self Awareness

The more deeply we know ourselves the more freedom we have to choose how we move through life. With each client we prioritize the cultivation of insight and self awareness necessary for tracking what is going on inside themselves as well as what is going on in the world around them.

Resiliency

To know our own strength we must do difficult things. We support our clients to face and walk towards the discomforts and challenges in their lives. In this way, moving from challenge to challenge, the client grows in self-confidence and becomes resilient in life.

Unhooking from unhelpful patterns

We all have mental and emotional patterns that often pull us off track and cause us to fall into those familiar but unhelpful, behavioral patterns. We help clients develop the tools, skills, and perspective necessary to unhook from these detrimental mental and emotional states and choose new and empowering ways of navigating life’s challenges.

Committed Action

Mentoring has always been about taking action and creating change. Throughout each session we are working collaboratively with the client to create an actionable plan that is in alignment with their goals and values, and can be practiced and applied between each session.
