Approach as Mentor

My approach to mentoring is led by my values of centering the persons own goals for their work, as well as acknowledging and respecting the various ways each of us approach our work.  I have benefited from working across disciplines, and in groups and Schools where I have learnt the skills to listen carefully, and to consider the types of approach that may be needed to move toward one's own goals. My style is conversational, and I value working in partnership with people to work towards their own career ambitions and work life.
