Brez Scales Mentorship: A Framework for Rapid Growth

Brez’s “Scales of Mentorship” outlines a powerful framework for understanding mentorship depth and impact. It categorizes mentorship across four levels: Transactional, Transformational, Intergenerational, and Soulful. Moving up the scales unlocks exponentially greater growth.

Why This Matters: Most mentorship experiences get stuck at the “Transactional” level – a single conversation, advice given, a problem solved. While helpful, this doesn’t build lasting impact. Brez argues true growth comes from sustained relationships that move towards transformation, then leverage the wisdom of experience (intergenerational), and finally, foster deep personal connection (soulful). Traditional networks often facilitate only the transactional level, focusing on quick bookings rather than long-term development.

Actionable Steps to Level Up Your Mentorship:

1. Define Your "North Star": Before seeking a mentor, clarify your long-term goals. What does success really look like? This attracts the right mentor and focuses your conversations.
2. Prioritize Consistency: Schedule regular check-ins – weekly or bi-weekly – even if brief. Consistent interaction builds trust and allows for iterative progress.
3. Document Your Journey: Keep a log of insights, action items, and challenges. This reinforces learning and provides valuable material for reflection with your mentor.
4. Seek Feedback on How You Learn: Don’t just ask what to do, but how you can improve your learning process. This unlocks transformational growth.
5. Give Back: Mentorship isn’t one-way. Offer your skills and insights to others, solidifying your own understanding and expanding your network.

Why Menteo is Different:

Reading about mentorship scales is a great start, but doing it requires the right environment. Menteo isn’t just another platform for booking one-off calls. We’re a Growth Network designed to facilitate mentorship across all four scales.

• Growth Threads provide a public-facing space to document your journey, fostering accountability and attracting valuable feedback.
• Mentorship Rooms offer structured 1:1 guidance, moving beyond transactional advice to build lasting relationships.
• Roadmaps curate learning paths, providing a framework for transformational growth and ensuring you’re focusing on the right skills.
• Communities connect you with peers facing similar challenges, creating an intergenerational learning environment.

We believe in Social Mentorship – ongoing, visible growth – versus purely “Transactional Mentorship.” It’s about building a support system, not just getting answers.
