Hey, I’m Rika Whelan, a Christian Workplace Culture coach, wife, mom and bible lover. During the last 19 years, I have been faced with many workplace culture issues. Gossip, conflict, a lack of communication and relationship, bullying, fighting and so much more. I couldn’t quite understand why and how people could be so mean-spirited towards each other and seemingly not even care. It was only when I stepped into a leadership role that I realised that it was due to a lack of sound leadership and boundaries that people were ’allowed’ to act the way they did. I didn’t quite know what to do at the time, and it felt at times as if I was not going to make it through my leadership journey, after all, giving up and quitting seemed like an easier route to take. I started to pray and God showed me the necessary steps I needed to take to change the culture at my workplace and to keep it that way moving forward. It was by His grace alone that I was able to move forward. He gave me the courage I needed because it wasn’t an easy path. I was equipped back then and now I am called to help Christian women like yourself who are desperate for a map, a navigation system to show them the way. The good news is that there is a way that you can successfully navigate workplace culture without selling your soul. There is a way that you can happily lead your team, set clear boundaries and finally enjoy coming to work. So, if you are ready to finally take the necessary action to turn your toxic work environment into a thriving, peaceful and joyful workplace where you and your team enjoy coming to work. If you are ready to learn practical steps to navigate all things leadership, workplace culture, faith and boundaries.. then this is the podcast for you!

047 | Engaging a Faith-aligned Mentor
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Have you ever considered engaging a mentor or coach to support you in your leadership role?
Perhaps your line manager is your mentor or someone else at work?
In a recent article, Forbes magazine said, “Having a mentor is more than just setting and achieving goals; it's about having someone in your corner who can provide valuable feedback, encouragement and support to help you grow both professionally and personally.”
So, in this episode, I’d like to discuss the topic of engaging a faith-aligned mentor.
The bible shows us that mentorship is not a new concept. We can see that there were many mentor/mentee relationships in the bible:
- Jethro mentored Moses. Moses mentored Joshua and the elders of Israel. And Joshua mentored the other remaining leaders of his army.
- Eli mentored Samuel. Samuel mentored Saul and David. Ahithophel and Nathan the prophet also mentored David. David became Israel's greatest king. David mentored his army commanders and government officials to establish the united nation of Israel. David also mentored Solomon. Solomon mentored the Queen of Sheba, who returned to her people with his wisdom in the form of Proverbs that applied God's laws.
- Elijah mentored Elisha. Elisha mentored king Jehoash and others.
- Daniel mentored Nebuchadnezzar, who humbled himself before God.
- Mordecai mentored Esther. Esther mentored King Artaxerxes, which led to the liberation of God's people.
- Priscilla and Aquila mentored Apollos, and this resulted in a much-improved ministry for Apollos.
- And finally, Jesus mentored the twelve apostles who established the Christian church. The apostles mentored hundreds of other leaders, including Paul. Paul mentored Titus, Timothy, and many others." (Extract from Lifeway)
Enjoy the episode as I discuss ways of engaging a faith-aligned mentor and ensuring it's the right person to mentor you.
