One Million Mentor Moments (OMMMs)
A movement to measure meaning, not metrics.
What is OMMMs?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve believed that mentoring has the power to change lives, not through grand gestures, but through small and human moments of connection. I see it all the time: how a conversation that sparks courage, or a question shifts perspective. Mentoring is one of the most profound ways I’ve found of remembering that we are never alone.
That belief is what inspired One Million Mentor Moments (OMMMs). It is a living movement that recognizes, tracks, and celebrates the ripple effects of mentoring.

Why I Created OMMMs
So much of my work has been about helping people and organizations create cultures and spaces where guidance, learning, and care flow naturally between people. But I wanted to go one step further: to make the impact of that care visible. Mentorship is my way of giving back intentionally and, today, OMMMs is becoming my way of recognising that contribution.
The OMMMs counter is a living tracker that reflects the cumulative impact of this work. Each number represents a real moment of connection: a mentoring conversation, a workshop, a speaking event, or a story shared. It’s not about measuring for the sake of data. It’s about witnessing what happens when generosity becomes the foundation of how we lead, learn, and live.
How You Can Join In
Mentoring isn’t limited to titles or roles, it’s something we can all offer! Every one of us has insight, care, or experience that can make a difference in someone else’s life. If you believe in that too, I’d love for you to be part of the OMMMs movement.
Here’s how you can participate:
1. Share your own mentor moments.
Use the hashtag #OMMMs on social media to share a story of mentoring, whether you were the mentor or the mentee. It might be a short reflection, a photo, or a moment that changed the way you see yourself or your work.
2. Send your story directly.
You can send your story, testimonial, photograph to Life Works Well, or tag us on our socials. Some will be featured on the platform to inspire others to notice the mentor moments in their own lives.
3. Start noticing the moments that matter.
Every time you give your time, attention, or belief to someone else (or they to you) that’s a mentor moment. By noticing and naming these exchanges, we make visible the power of giving in motion.
What OMMMs Represents
OMMMs isn’t a campaign. It’s a collective reflection of what happens when people give freely of themselves.
It’s a reminder that mentorship isn’t a transaction but a shared and necessary act of humanity.
My goal is to reach one million mentor moments over time, one million acts of generosity, trust, and care that together form a living testament to what we can build when we lead with heart.
Join the Movement!
Every mentor moment counts. If you’d like to be part of the movement, share your story using #OMMMs, tag us, or reach out through Life Works Well to tell us about a mentoring moment that made a difference in your life or someone else’s.
Let’s make mentoring visible by giving meaning to the moments that make us human. Most importantly, let’s keep building a world where generosity isn’t something we do, but who we are.
