Awake Mentoring

The Awake Mentoring course is an opportunity to invest in the overall wellbeing of our employees and those they hope to influence in the community through a mentoring relationship.

We have assessed the most common reasons employees begin to slip in attendance or face other life challenges that affect work performance. By focusing on physical and mental health, relationships, and financial literacy, we hope to provide foundational resources to build a healthy and stable lifestyle. Our goal is not to see our team survive the day to day, but to thrive and help others along the way.

Class #1: Vision

October 21, 2:45-4:45pm

Guest Speaker: Scott Gates, CEO Awake Window & Door Co.

This class will provide an introduction to the next five weeks by laying out a plan and establishing some of the ground rules and expectations. We’ll discuss the importance of identifying which qualities or values are most important and how to build a plan that embodies those personal values. Throughout the class, we will encourage healthy discussion and disagreement to embody the core values of learn and challenge.

Class #2: Habits

October 28, 2:45-4:45pm

Guest Speaker: Scott S, Just 1 Life Services

This class will reinforce foundational habits that help to accomplish vision. We’ll discuss re-visiting visions during morning routines and creating building blocks to be intentional throughout the day and week. By being intentional, we can see short-term gains which build excitement and lead to longer-term gains.

Class #3: Physical & Mental Health

Nov. 4, 2:45-4:45pm

Guest Speaker: Justin H, Just 1 Life Services

This class is designed to evoke discussion around the importance of being intentional with our physical and mental health. We’ll be reminded of why these are so important and begin applying these elements as priorities as we lay out daily or weekly habits.

Class #4: Relationships

Nov. 11, 2:45-4:45pm

Guest Speaker: TBD

We all know the powerful influences that relationships can hold over our lives. In this class we’ll identify three concentric circles of influence: family, friends, and community and how intentionality can be a powerful tool in helping us move forward.

Class #5: Finances

Nov. 18, 2:45-4:45pm

Guest Speaker: John Engelstad, COO Awake Window & Door Co.

How we manage our finances can create freedom and security or anxiety. We’ll discuss the principles behind personal financial management and identify some of the important steps we can each take to accomplish the next step. We’ll also discuss some of the pitfalls that can quickly lead to turbulence and block our plans. Some of the elements covered in this class will include: understanding credit and how to build credit, APR and loan details, compound interest and long-term saving. Additional help building individual budgets and tracking will be available.
