Elevating Mentees Leads to Organizational Success

Mollie Singh earned her Doctorate of Education in Organizational Change and Leadership in 2024 from the Rossier College at USC. Her study sought to understand the gaps in the organizational processes affecting the re-engagement of alumni mentees. She understood the social capital gains mentors received within the relationship and wanted the same for the mentees. Further, Dr. Singh thought that encouraging alumni mentees could help the organization sustain itself with a cyclical mentor pool.

Dissertation Abstract: Youth mentoring organizations miss the opportunity to re-engage the people they serve to help others within their organization. As such, they may perpetuate the marginalization of the youth served. Through the Clark and Estes (2008) gap analytical framework, this study sought to understand the gaps in knowledge, motivation, and organizational influences affecting the re-engagement of alumni mentees. Further, using the lens of Bourdieu’s (1986) social capital theory, this study first sought to investigate if the organization understood the personal gains of mentors in the relationship. Second, this study sought to understand if executive leaders understand the social capital gains for a mentee to advance to a mentor. This study employed semi-structured qualitative interviews, supplemented by a document analysis for triangulation of collected data. The validated gaps from this study were in motivation, organizational influences, and social capital understanding. The key findings from this study were in knowledge, motivation, and organizational influences, as well as in social capital. Most notably the participants indicated the social capital finding of mentors feeling like they receive more out of the match than the mentees. Certainly, if the organization encouraged alumni mentees to elevate to mentees, they too could receive this social capital gain. Further, encouraging alumni mentees could help the organization sustain itself with a cyclical mentor pool.

A Marriage Blessing For Tara©

I wrote a blessing for my niece's wedding. It is copyrighted, But it is also free for you to use with credit given as For Tara, by Mollie Singh.

Each partner holds a hand against the other's hand such that all their fingers line up.

Blessing: Please notice that your hands move in sync, forward, backward, and side to side. As one moves, the other bends. Back and forth we go, in partnership.

Now, just separate your thumbs. Remember that the thumb always points back at us. This reminds us that we are individuals who come into this relationship. We are responsible for ourselves and should remember we must take some time for ourselves and our own growth.

Now, just separate the index fingers. This finger is the one we use to point to the other. With this finger, we are reminded that there is another person in this relationship, our partner. We must make room to care for the growth of our partner. We must remember to honor their journey.

As the middle finger separates…. Well, let's just say this is the finger that reminds us we can speak without saying a word. This finger reminds us that we must be thoughtful with our words. It is also the center of our hands, and it reminds us we are at the center of our community. We must remember we come first.

Now, as we separate the ring finger, we realize this finger is the weakest of all fingers when separated. It is also the finger that we place our rings on. Why is that? It is to remind us that we are stronger when we are together.

Last, as we separate our pinky fingers, we make the pinky promise to one another that indeed, we will remember the lessons from all our fingers, and we will hold hands knowing we are one.
