Think of a time in your life when someone with more knowledge and experience was leading you on a path to become something more. If you can think of a time like that, you know the importance of mentorship. Mentorship can be seen in families, in careers, in parenting, in sports, in education, really anywhere someone with a greater breadth of knowledge is passing this along. 

And mentorship doesn’t only benefit the mentee, but the mentor as well. These benefits led today’s guest to create The Mentor Project, a non-profit organization that helps mentors connect with mentees to pass the torch of knowledge, innovation, culture, values, and inspiration to future generations.

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Deborah Heiser, Applied Developmental Psychologist, a TEDx speaker, Adjunct Professor in the Psychology Department at SUNY Old Westbury, and Founder of The Mentor Project.

She has been quoted in The New York Times, Seattle Times, Dallas Times and contributes to Thrive Global. Her research covers a wide range of topics related to aging, including depression identification, dementia, and frailty with grants awarded from NIA/NIH and Pfizer. She received an international award for her research on depression identification, as well as serving for 9 years on the Board of the State Society on Aging of New York and was President in 2008. Later In 2016, she served as President of Queens Psychological Association in New York.
