Mentoring is a learner or seeker driven modality.
I have found that discovering or uncovering or, even recovering, someone's personal narrative is the most effective way to help them move toward their dreams, goals or aspirations.
So my approach is to work with each individual through their personal story and to help them overcome whatever obstacles appear to be in the way.
I can personally offer you my insight and training as a mentor to take the steps necessary to get on the path to fulfillment.
Please contact me to learn more about my narrative mentoring method. I will be happy to discuss my rates.
Mentor, Mentor, What is a Mentor?

“For the last ten years, while maintaining the fiction of myself as a teacher, I have come to see mentoring at Empire State College as akin to being a well-rewarded doorman (minus the fancy epaulets and the stripes down the sides of the trousers): I open doors with a smile for seekers who want to rub elbows with thinkers and artists of every kind. I introduce each one around by name. I offer them comfortable chairs — or an arm if they prefer to walk around the grounds. I listen intently to each one's stories and offer stories of my own in return. I ask a lot of questions and deflect, as best I can, the ones that come back at me. I hail a cab and tip my hat when they're ready to move on.
As Robert Frost might have said, one could do worse than be a doorman. Or a mentor.”
“Julie Evans is simply — and not so simply at all — the holiest person I have ever known. Once touched by her powerfully emotional writing and her utterly mindful mentoring, no one is left unchanged, unrewarded, or alone.”

“I think it's important that if you're really going to help people become the best they can be, you have to force them to be creative, because creativity stems from the inner part of the being. The inner part of the being has to come out and begin to dream, begin to apply the dreams, begin to mull, begin to fantasize and begin to pull out of themselves what they can create, what they can do with their hands and their mind and their imagination. So you really have to encourage people to jump off cliffs because they still have to fly. But they've still got to find their ability to fly, and the only way they are going to find that is by your encouraging them. Go ahead. Just jump off. See where you can go.” “It is with great pleasure that I recommend Julie Evans as a mentor. Her vast experience in life and her love of people make her fully qualified to lead people through the maze of this great adventure called life.”

“Having Julie Evans touch my life has been among the greatest of blessings on my path thus far. If I may use the voice of classes I.ve shared with other students, Julie Evans helped each of us gently open doors that might have otherwise remained closed before us. Julie mentored each of us to nurture ourselves in a way that would allow us to grow, and to follow our passion that is right there before us. She made us understand that every living thing has a purpose and so each living thing, including and especially ourselves, is built of beauty and grace. She taught us that "brick walls are put before us to demonstrate to how badly we want something". She taught us that if you take a brick wall down brick by brick, it doesn.t have to be that difficult. I remain thankful. Knowing Julie has enriched my life immensely. Who can really put that into words? I have chosen her as one of my role models and self-appointed mentors. If I can touch the lives of others in the way that Julie has touched my life, then I will have been a success.”
