BOBCAT’S SEVEN CAREER MENTORING PRINCIPLES

Cooperative. Mutually agree to work as a team, with give and take, toward a common goal. 

Dependable. Have confidence in each other’s thought processes and be assured
that you have each other’s back for successful and positive results.

Loyal. Give constant and firm support, with allegiance to each other, through unwavering devotion on relationship matters.

Respectable. Show respect for one another and honor each other through moral and righteousness.

Trustworthy. For the best outcomes, be reliable, honest and credible in your principles and communication to one another.  Operate within ethical standards and protocols that are established by the Board of Directors and Leaders.

Patient. Accept and acknowledge the different backgrounds and contributions of others by accepting delays and problems without complaining or becoming annoyed or anxious. To move forward and to gain a better insight, be charitable and forgiving.

Understanding. Be sympathetically aware and empathetically compassionate about others’ feelings by forgiving and making allowances for imperfections and mistakes in others since we are not perfect.Never hold grudges because it causes more internal damage than harm to others.

Practicing these principles will enable you to utilize your “God-given talent to create a work-loving, caring and sharing environment that is safe and pleasant for your present and future personal growth and business development.
