Mentoring Best Practices

A major component of many careers is mentoring trainees. Mentoring practices profoundly affect the well-being of a team, and consequently, its productivity and success. While there is no magic formula, there are best practices that can help you improve your mentoring and develop a reflective mentoring style. In this course, we discuss these and practice them weekly. Small groups meet for weekly facilitated discussions of what worked and what did not, and help each other solve dilemmas encountered. We also practice self-mentoring through goal-setting and tracking.
