We all love change, don't we? Words of Advice from #Mentoring: The Tao of Giving and Receiving Wisdom

Never confuse change with chaos. The Tao mentor knows that nature is constantly in motion, changing predictably according to predetermined laws. Seasons are cyclical; moods shift-some days we’re up , others we’re down; we’re well, then ill; hot, then not. According to the Tao, nothing is static.

So I am pleased to be partnering with my graduate alma mater, the Tulane University Office of Alumni Relations, to initiate a monthly Mentoring Help webinar, with the first webinar in May 2018. The 30-minute format will include 3 sections: A brief review of the mentoring topic for the month A case example of the mentoring topic with a mentee and mentor working through the mentee's issue in real time SueMentor’s Question Time (aka answering questions submitted in advance of the webinar).
