Christine Wagner Consulting is deeply committed to encourage and support women and girls.
We are pleased to offer Power2Thrive, a program that equips women with knowledge and tools to deepen their relationships with younger women and girls in their lives.
What is Natural Mentoring?
Natural mentoring is the capacity within each of us to engage with and support the young people in our lives as they strive to reach their highest potential. Those who sustain an active relationship with a young person who is already in their life are natural mentors – part of a team of caring adults that research has shown young people need in order to thrive.
Natural Mentors Shape the Leaders of the Future
Girls and young women are among the generation that will change the world. These are not just any girls. They are the girls of our hearts: our daughters, our nieces, our friends’ daughters, our daughter’s friends, our colleagues, our students, our granddaughters.
More than ever before, women and girls are called upon to bring out the best in each other.
Did you know the single most common factor for young people who do well? It is having the support of at least one committed relationship with a caring adult. There are mentoring stories in the hearts of many – stories of women who influence, inspire, love and guide younger women and girls.
- These women see strength because they are strong.
- They recognize the capacity for leadership because they are leaders.
- They inspire self-awareness because they value self-knowledge.
Nearly fifty women shared their personal mentoring stories to help me write a book introducing the power of two to thrive (Power2Thrive) through a concept called natural mentoring.
I am excited to be in the final stages of writing, and the book has a name!
The Power of Natural Mentoring: Shaping the Future for Women and Girls
The time has come to fine tune the role of natural mentor. If you are a caring adult in a girl’s life, this book is for you. Through actual stories of women and girls around the country, learn how close relationships with significant adults can provide a critical growth and support network for girls. You have it within you to mirror the beauty of a girl’s uniqueness as she learns to see herself in the most positive light, as she finds and speaks her voice, identifies her talents and gifts, and determines how to use them for good.
Power2Thrive: A Space to Flourish
Although many young women find themselves without the necessary support, the adults who are naturally in their lives are too often unaware of their own power to help.
Power2Thrive is a progressive three-phased program of workshops and experiences for women natural mentors and the girls in their lives. Its purpose is to reveal the women’s capacity to engage with and support girls to know themselves, unleash their authentic leadership potential and thrive. The program is designed to build self-awareness and equip natural mentors with skills, methods and experiences to empower themselves and the young women in their lives.
The workshops are designed for tailoring to your organization or field for professional development and train-the-trainer opportunities. We partner with you to tailor the timing and content of workshop activities so the natural mentoring program meets the unique needs of your organization and its people.
There is no clear roadmap to adulthood for an adolescent girl today. Often bullied and lacking confidence, she may be frightened of the doors opening to her. At the same time, she is on the brink of her own brilliance.
The time is now to share the wisdom of our life journeys. Today’s women are creating a life roadmap not only for ourselves, but for the girls who will soon become the leaders of the future.
