Mentoring is a technique or process that aims to establish a learning relationship between an inexperienced person on a topic or activity, and a “mentor”, that is, a person with previous experience in the field.

During this process, the mentor provides support, knowledge, skills, guidance, and all kinds of experiences to the other person to contribute to the achievement of the other person’s future goals.

Unlike other procedures, such as coaching, mentoring does not focus on achieving a specific goal, but serves as a reference to help you know how to face future situations, conversations or activities with the skills and tools acquired.

Therefore, it is important that in this process we establish a connection with our mentor based on mutual commitment, in order to perfectly understand their lessons thanks to this understanding and understanding.

As for how mentoring could help you, we list different benefits it can bring you:

• Obtaining and developing skills: the information we learn will help us to work on what we want, developing hidden skills and learning new ones that can be useful in the future.

• Personalized guidance: the mentor will get to know us and advise us according to our objectives, company or person. In this way, learning would be personalized for us and much more effective, since it will be adapted to our way of working and thinking.

• Increased confidence and motivation: having as a reference other experiences and situations that the mentor will share with us, we will trust ourselves more and we will not be so afraid when executing different projects.
• Improved decision-making: by having more self-confidence, being aware of the mistakes we make and knowing how to fix them, we will get an improvement in effective decision-making.

The beginning of a new year gives us the opportunity to reflect on what we want to achieve, both personally and professionally. Purpose setting is often common practice, but how can we connect these purposes with our professional lives and make them a reality within the workplace?

Before setting resolutions for the year, it is crucial to do a professional self-assessment. What have been your successes and challenges over the past year? What areas of your work do you want to improve or develop? Identifying these areas will help you establish concrete and realistic purposes for your professional growth.

1. Set smart goals

The purposes must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-delimited. For example, instead of simply saying “improve at work”, we could say “developing leadership skills by participating in specific courses during the first six months of the year”.

2. Work-life balance

One of the most important purposes may be to find a better work-life balance. Establishing clear lines between work and personal time will improve your productivity and your overall well-being.

3. Continuous professional development

Investing in your professional growth is key. You could include purposes such as learning new skills, participating in professional networks, or seeking growth opportunities in your industry.

4. Encourage collaboration and communication

It can be a great purpose to improve communication and collaboration within the work environment. This can boost productivity, improve interpersonal relationships and promote a more harmonious work environment.

5. Celebrate successes and learn from challenges

Don’t forget to celebrate successes, even small ones. This keeps motivation high. It is also important to learn from challenges and failures; These are opportunities to grow and improve.

6. Follow-up

It is essential to keep track of purposes. Regularly review your goals, adjust them if necessary and make adjustments to continue advancing towards success.

In short, New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be exclusively personal. By connecting them with professional life, they become powerful tools for growth and success in the workplace.

What resolutions do you have in mind for the New Year and how do you plan to incorporate them into your professional life?

Currently, climate change is one of the main concerns we have as a society. Therefore, as companies, it is important to contribute our grain of sand with a series of sustainable actions that help reduce or slow down this climate emergency.

These actions can be:

• Save on plastics and paper: The use of plastic is a great inconvenience for our planet due to its long decomposition, therefore, it is important to replace any type of plastic with a more sustainable solution. Although paper is a good substitute at first, we cannot abuse it, so it is advisable to use digital files whenever possible.

• Committed suppliers: Opting for suppliers committed to the environment can generate multiple benefits for your company. These suppliers often incorporate sustainable practices into their supply chain, which can have a positive impact on your business.
• Online work: In order not to make daily use of vehicles and avoid the pollution they generate, we can implement online work days in our company.
  

• Manage waste: All companies generate some amount of garbage daily that they will throw away. By recycling properly, we prevent them from becoming waste that can no longer be recovered or reused, and we help to create recyclable materials and products.

• Education and awareness: Educate your employees about the importance of being sustainable and how everyone can contribute. Organize talks, workshops or activities to raise awareness about environmental protection.

These are small actions that do not require much effort. With these acts we can help our planet effectively, encouraging other companies or people to act in the same way, thus creating a better world among all.
