The Mentor Exchange: Buddy Up! session enlightened our mentors, with lots of discussion around how to manage mentees who intermittently contact you - usually with imperative issues - to likening mentoring to a dance of directive and non-directive approaches.

We have compiled some advice and tips from your fellow mentors who have experienced similar hardships and successes to yourselves.

It was wonderful to see our mentors and mentees at the recent Mentor and Mentee Exchanges which were held on the 16th and 17th of August.

The sessions allowed us to learn from you and what you would like to see from us. One of these was to be able to share tips and tricks, not only from the perspective of your fellow mentors, but also to discover what mentees found productive.

What can we say? You request, we do it!

Have a peek at the mentoring tips and tricks compiled by your community, for your community, in order to help progress your mentoring relationships.

After dedicating nearly a decade of his time to volunteering for the Steering Committee and then becoming a Co-Chair, Sanjiv has now stepped down from the position of Co-Chair within the Steering Committee.

We are incredibly thankful for everything he has done as Co-Chair, and pleased that he will continue to be a part of the SteerCo group. Taking up the post in his place will be Gary Lloyd, another experienced and longtime volunteer within the Steering Committee.
