Mentorship has the power to part the Red Seas.<\/p>\n
Jamail Johnson learned an important lesson from his father that has helped him throughout his career: to show up as himself. It\u2019s basic, but authentic. And his authentic self is heavily religious. It was apparent when Johnson, a marriage counselor and professional speaker for Relationship Counseling Tools, L.L.C., sat down with BLACK ENTERPRISE <\/strong>at the XCEL Summit for Men<\/strong> Spotlight Series<\/a> several years ago. <\/p>\n From Johnson\u2019s biblical interpretation, every great man in the Bible followed the steps of another great man, he said. Joshua led his people to the Promised Land, just as Moses led them across the Red Sea. It\u2019s mentorship at its best. And while BE isn\u2019t venturing into the religious genre, we admit that just as the Bible remains relevant today, so does Johnson\u2019s perspective on mentorship. We\u2019re re-sharing Johnson\u2019s sentiment with today\u2019s young African Americans embarking on careers in corporate America because positive insights come from everywhere.<\/p>\n RELATED CONTENT: Pastor Dr. Jamal Bryant Drops The Blueprint For \u2018BLACKGROUND\u2019 And Breaks Ground On \u2018New Birth Village\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\tLeaning Into The Word <\/h2>\n
