This was a great video and it reminded me that mentoring is all about building that connection and letting the mentee lead the topic of sessions. It is really important to reflect with the mentee and share your own personal processes so that the mentee can learn with you instead of being instructed. This only works when you build a relationship with the mentee where they know that you care and its a journey for both of you. In addition to assisting with aspects of the job you want the teacher to feel welcome and connected in the building and you are the olive branch for them. Stay positive and encourage was emphasized in the video. Both those things will help strengthen the relationship which allows for more honest and deeper reflections and growth.
