Be a Mentor

According to Dictionary.com

1. a wise and trusted counselor or teacher.

2. an influential senior sponsor or supporter

3. to act as a mentor: She spent years mentoring to junior employees.

4. to act as a mentor to: The brash young executive did not wish to be mentored by anyone.



Synonyms 1. advisor, master, guide, preceptor.



Sounds like a lot of big words for being a "cheer" leader.



You've done it; you can do it again, and you will!

Because if you're even thinking about it, you've either been one, or been the recipient of the benefits of one.



SO; in the words of Nike: JUST DO IT

or Gatorade: Is it in you? (Again, if you have to ask, IT IS).



The word just makes it sound like you have to be "older/wiser" to be one.



I've seen it done by kindergartners (maybe it's because they've learned all they need by May of that year from "Cheryl"-the best K teacher I know-other than Ms. DeLauries=mine).



Try being YEAH YEAH Out Loud and "hear" the mentor in YOU!



My mentor has been

Study says stay-at-home family CEO is worth $117,000

Just in case you ever said; "I'm JUST a Mom."

If Mom drew a paycheck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON --

If a stay-at-home mom could be compensated in dollars rather than personal satisfaction and unconditional love, she'd rake in a nifty sum of nearly $117,000 a year.
That's according to a pre-Mother's Day study released Thursday by Salary.com, a Waltham, Mass.-based firm that studies workplace compensation.
The eighth annual survey calculated a mom's market value by studying pay levels for 10 job titles with duties that a typical mom performs, ranging from housekeeper and day care center teacher to van driver, psychologist and chief executive officer.
This year, the annual salary for a stay-at-home mom would be $116,805, while a working mom who also juggles an outside job would get $68,405 for her motherly duties.

So now, that we've cleared that up; time to give yourself a YEAH YEAH Out Loud!

Reading is fun

Next week May 12-18 is READING FOR FUN!

Because Reading Is Fun Week is a time to discover how much fun reading can be; YYOL® is taking this great opportunity to do its’ part by "playing" in preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade in our local school districts!

School is almost over! YYOL® is moving forward with more exposure on the web, making local, regional, national and international connections.

Our goal is to have YEAH YEAH Out Loud in schools, churches, day cares and homes near you. You are one of our "cheer" leaders out there. Please share your honest opinions of your YYOL® experience (constructive truths). We need to know how to make this program better?!

We are finding more organizations would enjoy implementing YYOL® into their community, but are afraid of change and/or lack funding. If you have ideas about funding connections for those organizations, let us know, we'll do the research and leg work for you!

We will be posting some YouTube training videos in the next months, that can be used for your own, or your community's training.

Suggestions from you on what would specifically be helpful to you/yours can be directed to us here at cheeringkidson@yeahyeahoutloud.com
