S 7 E9: Yvonne Thevenot on Mentorship in a Changing World

In 2021, I had the privilege of sharing a conversation with my friend and business strategist, Yvonne Thevenot about mentorship in a changing global world. At that time, we were navigating the uncertainties of a pandemic, learning how to work, connect, and find meaning within new digital and emotional landscapes.

When I listened again to our conversation a few weeks ago, I realized that this discussion is even more relevant today. We continue to live through an era of profound transition, one that asks not only for adaptability but for empathy, courage, and shared wisdom. Mentorship remains one of the most essential ways we grow together. It is a bridge between experience and aspiration, between what we know and what we are still becoming.

Yvonne embodies the art of mentorship. A certified change expert and business transformation specialist, she approaches every challenge with humanity and insight. Her work is client-focused and people-centric, grounded in the belief that real transformation begins with listening. As an executive mentor and thought partner, Yvonne creates a space where dialogue becomes discovery, and where confidence and capability flourish.

When I think of Yvonne, I think of generosity, the kind that lifts others, encourages self-trust, and keeps momentum alive when the path feels uncertain. Mentorship, after all, is not easy, for either mentor or mentee. It is a commitment to growth, to reflection, and to seeing the potential in another person.

I invite you to put the kettle on and revisit this inspiring conversation on Tea, Toast & Trivia.

Thank you, Yvonne, for your extraordinary capacity and compassion — for reminding us that mentorship is not about hierarchy, but about shared humanity and creative resilience. You continue to inspire me, and I know you will inspire others to participate confidently and compassionately in a world that needs both courage and kindness.

Listeners, you can connect with Yvonne on LinkedIn to continue this important dialogue.

Until next time, dear friends keep the tea and conversation flowing, and take a moment to celebrate the mentors who light your way.
