We are thrilled to announce that our Reflective Guide on Transformative Mentorship is now available for download, for free. Thank you to 119+ people who joined us on Zoom and LinkedIn Live for the launch on Monday. 🙏 Special thanks to our speakers, Curriculum Design Consultant Rani Pramesti, and Wedu Mentor Victoria Wong (she/her), CEP® Wong, for sharing insights on the guide's design and the power of examining our values in mentoring. 🌟 Highlights from our conversation with Rani and Victoria: 👐 Six key elements of what makes you a mentor: The guide asks you to engage in your why, your positionality, your core values, your beliefs, your ability to be power literate, and your unique mentoring style. 🤝 A trauma-informed approach to mentoring: Many communities where women leaders you mentor come from are at the front lines of climate change-induced disasters, armed and violent conflicts, and increasingly complex gender-based violence. So, the guide offers some foundational trauma-informed tools to be able to support mentees adequately. 🌏 Cross-cultural mentoring: The workbook presents patriarchy, disability, neurodiversity, and indigeneity as forms of culture and helps you critique culture-based assumptions. It uses values as a way to engage cross-culturally. 🔗 Download the Reflective Guide on #Transformative #Mentorship to design your unique #mentoring style or programmes: https://lnkd.in/dVyYBp5P
