I would love to be a mentee!!! I need the advice of some of these awesome ladies!!!
-
Can we be both a mentor and mentee?!?! I want to be Raven's mentee – you're SO GOOD AT FREESTYLE!! – but I also want to mentor a newbie (partly to get my teaching/helping skills up to scratch, and partly to help someone discover the awesomeness of pole!)

I like that Hazelnut- I mean when I first read this I was like yeah i'd love to have some amazing mentor to help me along. I mean i've really just been chugging along by myself.. but I definitely shouldn't harbor my knowledge and I think I could help someone else who is trying to learn what I have already.. and I haveee been poling over a year now (though life made me take some time off.. ) lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Do any of you ladies live in Florida? East Coast???

I think by responding to Discussion posts, blogs and user videos we are mentoring! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif That is what the site is about, helping each other, encouragement and advice. You have the ability to friend each other and correspond from here as well. Feel free to start a new Discussion for members looking to be a mentor and for those who would like a mentor if you like. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

@studiovenna first off, I want to thank you for being so open to the idea of a mentor/mentee match up, as I think it will be really helpful and enriching to alot of gals here. Second, I want to clarify something…I hope you don't think that this idea came about because I think SV is not a great support system because it is! In fact, the love and support I have received from the SV community is the reason I stuck with pole and didn't quit a few times!
I do want to share how this idea came about though 🙂 I was thinking back to when I first started college and how lonely, confusing, frustrating and hard that first year was. Then I thought back to my first year of poling and realized I had the same emotions and feelings as I did in my first year in college. Sure, I had support from my friends and family but I was still ready to drop out of college in my sophmore year because I just felt so lost stumbling though classes day after to day–I felt like a hamster running in a hamster wheel moving through life but really going anywhere.
Then one of my favorite professors suggested that I get a mentor. Best suggestion ever because I honestly don't think I wouldn't have made it through college without my mentors extra guidance, support, advice and sympathetic listening ear.
And then the lightbulb went off of how great it would be to bring that wonderful 1 on 1 connection and (extra) support to newbie SV members…and there you have it 🙂

Hey sexycat, I like the idea of having a mentor…I am also in Australia, but in Perth.
-
This sounds like a really cool idea. I’d have to be a mentee though. :/
-
Well this does sound good.I have been having success posting recent threads about specific problems, moves etc. and have gotten great feedback that way. That way everyone can see a specific goal or problem and many can offer feedback and in that way many become mentors!
-
I feel as tho I have a few mentors on here already! Shout out to Jade S and Joni! Thank u guys!

I am up to mentor 🙂 It is partially selfish though *Shh*
I learn a ton when I am helping other to nail something. It makes me more creative and reminds me of the "basics" that are easy to ignore once you advance. Send me a pm if your interested. I will say I am ok with exchanging messages but would like to skype semi frequently. Skype name- platinumani
