  1. Hello. My name is Cesar.
  2. And here again as a part off energy lie project.
  3. At this last semester, it's my pressure again to take
  4. this time to reflect, uh, on, like, impacts off, like
  5. my project, which was DP Project in Energy l A.
  6. And how did that impact my mentoring relationship with?
  7. Get run as you see in the picture.
  8. So let's get into this.
  9. Like for the impact number one that I can recall
  10. on the top off my head.
  11. It is the fact that kept me accounted when the
  12. consistent you may wonder, like, Why did I bring this
  13. poet? So I knew that for sure, like everyone else.
  14. Day we had, like a meeting with LDP protecting the
  15. atom enters.
  16. And we had to report the one on one meeting
  17. and how they go.
  18. What did you learn and why do you think, like
  19. your mentee responded that way those kinds off conversation and
  20. then kept me accountable because I was like Then I
  21. need to make sure that I'm scheduling to meet with
  22. him consistently and that beards like trust that beauty like
  23. me being reliable mentor to him and just reflectively to
  24. by sharing these stories of how the conversation went off
  25. that week.
  26. I always internalized more what I learned from Get Run.
  27. You know what?
  28. He told me what he answered when I asked this
  29. type of question those kind off conversation and then the
  30. questions off, like my small group like members in LDP
  31. kept me reminding, like me what, like I learned from
  32. Get Ron and that, like, speeded up like the process
  33. of knowing each other, the process off, learning more about
  34. each other so through, like sharing those one on one
  35. like meetings through the D.
  36. P. Uh, meeting, which was, like, occurring at everyone, is
  37. they? So for impact number two, I think the LDP
  38. project was a platform, Uh, was like this free space
  39. where you ask any type of question, any type of
  40. curious question that you have.
  41. It was like free space to ask that.
  42. And I remember, like I was saying like, Oh, I
  43. miss my mentee.
  44. I don't have my but I want to see how
  45. it looks like to mentor someone, and definitely like immediately
  46. guys like Jordan guys like right, like nurse, they were
  47. like, Oh, you can come and shadow my relationship if
  48. you want.
  49. And that was like a big opportunity for me as
  50. like a startup student in in July.
  51. I got these opportunities from these guys whom we made
  52. like through LDP, and they told me different things they
  53. murdered for me what, like true and the meaningful mentorship
  54. looks like.
  55. And I always recounted on these types of connections toe
  56. to do the same thing as I saw in the
  57. relationship, and that is what, like is keeping me and
  58. get run together.
  59. That is what building our bone together for impact Number
  60. three. I think I used some tools that I've seen
  61. in those like shadowing experiences and also small group discussion.
  62. They, like you recommend me some assessments to use stress
  63. assessment, motivation assessment, underground tests, personality tests, those kinds of
  64. stuff. I think what I use now the most at
  65. some of the tools that I learned from the small
  66. group discussion with my LDPR mentors.
  67. Other mentors, I mean, and also I learned like when
  68. they were sharing the one on one meetings, I was
  69. learning more, and I was like sponge, I was grasping
  70. all these tools and assessments to use, You know that
  71. to build a bond in order to bring the strong
  72. relationship. Uh, and I would say that like my peak
  73. communication that I have now we forget Ron started with
  74. knowing each other through this personality test underground test.
  75. And I'll be always grateful for these LTP project.
  76. So for last impact, uh, impact number four.
  77. And I remember, like, during the first days off training
  78. NHL, I I was nervous.
  79. I was terrified.
  80. How am I gonna make to someone when I maybe
  81. I don't have, like, my things to get them still
  82. like screw up, boy?
  83. But now I have responsibility to be and just did,
  84. uh, to help another person grow by defeating like their
  85. values to himself.
  86. And I was so nervous, because again, this is like,
  87. my first experience, my first time doing piece.
  88. But through the small group discussion, people sharing how they
  89. want to start the relationship, what are you gonna do?
  90. What they think about the for the first time that
  91. they made.
  92. And I was like, Wow, this is impossible.
  93. Thing was like a great confidence in me that helped
  94. me to start up like energetically knowing that everything is
  95. possible. Knowing that I'm there, too appeared to help just
  96. to help someone to grow.
  97. And I remember like the Jordan's first advice.
  98. This was like a kid off a small group discussion,
  99. he said, Like just people opening Caesar just to be
  100. friends, too, like you meant it to get run and
  101. everything else will be fine.
  102. I loved it because I never thought about it, but
  103. I used to think about with, like even now I
  104. remember, like many get run for the first time.
  105. We just hang out, hang out as friends, and do
  106. we get to know each other and suffer schedule and
  107. we go deep.
  108. Time went on and I remember how it started.
  109. It was like very casual thing, very friendship thing.
  110. Now it's more of like very open space where we
  111. listen to each other every day we meet and we
  112. discussed. We share like our sadness, the stories off the
  113. week, our happiest moment off the week.
  114. What are we goals?
  115. What are we planning to do that week and things
  116. got big, big got deeper and things got better and
  117. better but to start.
  118. Although I was nervous, but I respect this advice, and
  119. I think it helped me a lot for, like, my
  120. nervousness. But periods like confidence on I always recount on
  121. this advice, and this is like my greatest advice that
  122. I would ever like, give someone else if he comes
  123. asking me for any advice when they want to start
  124. like any kind of relationship, because you cannot start and
  125. go deeper by that time, you have to let it
  126. go slowly and slowly.
  127. But this vulnerability This is where I remarkably like since
  128. the importance of being being open.
  129. Because as I opened up to get Ron, he became
  130. more more open even than myself.
  131. Like in these days.
  132. You know, he's able to tell me what's going on
  133. if their parents what's going on with his like mom
  134. and dad and which is like thing that I I
  135. personally feel thankful to LDP.
  136. So thank you so much.
  137. I think I enjoyed a lot and they still enjoy
  138. the benefits of being in lt.
  139. People still have meetings, and even in this black, I'm
  140. committed to make like a difference to meet him like
  141. on like, consistent level, because that's what I learned from
  142. LDP to build consistent and to be open and just
  143. to be friends first.
  144. And there is something that I was still counting on
  145. in my mentoring relationship.
  146. Thank you so much.
