I'm excited to announce a new program we will be rolling out at gE, a formal mentorship program designed to help our best posters improve their leadership skills and our newer posters learn how to improve themselves as a poster. In order to participate please respond in this thread why you would make a good mentor or what you would like to gain as a mentee and we'll match you up with someone.
-
ive been thinking about this- what if goEMAW had a "training board" for new posters?
we pin a couple threads about acronyms with some history about the board and maybe link a few of the classic threads for them to view. a couple of posters who really know the ropes can take time out of their busy BBSing days to help produce better posters. mocat, j-dub... guys like that.
only give new posters access to that thread for like 2 weeks while they learn the ways. thoughts?

i think i'm pretty coachable, just not sure if that applies to bbs'ing tho, i've got a decent amount of crappy posts, so i think maybe this is worth a shot, go cats

I'd like to apply for a mentor. I feel I've lost whatever edge I may have once had.

Do mentors and mentees, like go to DQ and talk about life experiences and posting techniques, etc. over dip cones and PB parfaits?

This program will just add to the group think mentality this board already has.
I vote to disband this program immediately!

I would be an incredible mentor to some of our young-er goEMAW cats. Any takers? I could also use some mentoring :D
-
I would like a mentor. I would like to make my posting more frequent and delightful.

one of you guys can take katdaddy, he's creeping me out already

Lots of drunk posting is part of what happens here. Maybe we need more of a Sponsor program than a mentor program?

I would like a mentor, to really help me be the best I could be, but I'd also like to mentor a newer poster to help the board. Can I be both?

What if I'm happy being an under the radar poster, once every few months picking up a complementary review of my under the radar bbs'n? Is a mentor required, or optional?

Pete and DickStone are the only posters worthy of being mentors.

DickStone and i are already lifting buddies. does that count?

I'm not sure I have the patience to mentor a young poster, or the humility to listen to the instructions of an older mentor.

I feel like 90% of my posts have been hot garbage lately. Like, just terrible. I'm trying to generate momentum and it just comes off all doucey and wanna-be-edgy. I'm not good at the off-season. I thrive on energy. eff.
-
I want to get better, but I don't really want to work too hard to achieve (nearly) maximum results. Hopefully I can be paired up with someone that is an expert in implementing the Pareto principle.

I've had mixed signals, so idk what I would be best at.

I feel like this is a test so in no way am I admitting I need a mentor, but if I did need one I'd totally pick Tobias.

OK, 8Man, we obviously don't need to air all our dirty laundry in THIS thread, but you can get started by setting some goals for yourself for the upcoming football season.
Ask yourself "what kind of poster do I want to be?" Really challenge yourself. Then, establish action items that will help you reach your goals, and focus on those action items.
It's also important to find a role model. You can use them as a framework for evaluating your actions...the "what would so and so do" philosophy. However, choosing the wrong role model can be counter productive, and lead to actions that are not furthering your quest to reach your goals.
For example, I once chose Leland of GPC fame as a role model, because I thought as an elite GPC poster that it would be wise. Turns out, all I ended up doing was frequently masturbating in front of a mirror with a LHC Bill Snyder mask on. Not a complete waste of time, but was it truly time well spent? Probably not, and I can admit that now. Cautionary tale, 8man.

every thread on this board. you get kougar24.
-

yes, your mentor is sys. perfect.
-
I think I should be a mentee. I feel like my posting skills are around a D+ and I need some guidance to bring up my game to at least a C+. I want to be barely above the average posters, but below the good ones. I know where I stand on the bell curve and I just want to move up a standard deviation or so.

I would volunteer my services, but you would end up with more posts about handjobs and TLC don't go chasing waterfalls quotes. This family blog doesn't need that trifle.

I'm working on that time online right now. I think the goEMAW Mentor Program (gEMP) will change my life. The feeling is really indescribable. It's the same feeling I get watching Pride and Prejudice. One day I could be Mr. Darcy, but right now I am just Jack's Inflamed Sense of Rejection. A dreamer can dream the dream of a thousand dreams dreamt by a dreaming child.
