Started my Mentoring training today
At 8:30 this morning I had no idea what to expect I have been waiting to join the team since the early part of this year. I didn't know who I would meet, when I arrived I was welcomed massively by Liam and Annie who are in a few of my lectures.
We all introduced ourselves and shared an interesting fact this changed the way you see the others as some other facts were really interesting. it was nice being able to move around and engage with the other mentors.
From me being a mentor means I will be using my counselling skills on a regular basis. I wanted to become a mentor to help other reach their full potential whilst experiencing student life. My counselling skills have really helped me this morning and I was able to apply my ethical skills effectively when discussing the should and shouldn'ts of being a student mentor.
Thank you to the others on the course for being friendly, approachable, slightly nutty and a source of knowledge too
Cheers xx
