In EPISODE 194 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. Deborah Heiser, an applied developmental psychologist and founder of the Mentor Project, discusses the transformative power of mentorship, particularly in midlife and beyond. She emphasizes that true mentorship involves intrinsic motivation, a meaningful connection, and a goal, distinguishing it from coaching or advising, which are often extrinsically motivated. Deborah Heiser highlights the emotional and psychological benefits of mentorship for both mentors and mentees, sharing examples like Nobel laureate Bob Lefkowitz’s “legacy tree.” She encourages you, our listener, to recognize mentorship opportunities in your daily life. Create your own legacy tree to acknowledge to yourself and others, the impact you have, and have had on the world around You.
