Be The Mentor Who Mattered

The One Thing That Changes Everything: Showing Up for Someone Else.

We live in an age of connection without community. Social media keeps us plugged in but leaves us lonely. Information floods our screens, yet real guidance seems rare.

The truth? The world is in desperate need of mentors-ordinary people willing to make an extraordinary difference.

In Be the Mentor Who Mattered, internationally recognized speakers and bestselling authors Colleen Stanley and LeAnn Thieman share a bold invitation: step into the role that could change someone's life-and your own. Drawing on inspiring, true stories from business leaders, nurses, athletes, military veterans, artists, parents, and neighbors, Stanley and Thieman reveal that mentorship doesn't require a title, a program, or a lifetime commitment. Sometimes, it's one conversation, one moment of encouragement, one act of belief that sparks transformation.

Inside, you'll discover:

- Why mentorship is no longer a "nice-to-have" but a "must-have" in today's fractured world.

- How to spot-and seize-mentor moments that can quietly alter the course of someone's life.

- Inspiring real-life accounts of resilience, courage, and the ripple effect of guidance.

- Practical ways to offer wisdom, encouragement, and "tough love" that empowers others to rise.

- How becoming a mentor can reignite your own sense of purpose and connection.

Whether you're a CEO or a student, a parent or a peer, you already have what it takes to be the mentor who mattered. Not by doing more-but by doing something for someone else.

If you've ever wondered whether you can make a real difference, this book will convince you: you can.

The only question is-will you?

You don't have to change the whole world. Just change someone's world. Start today.
