In this virtual workshop, we'll explore the importance of play and fun in mentor-mentee relationships. By being a playful mentor, you can foster spaces of joy and build a strong connection with your mentee. We will focus on two sources of joy: finding pleasure in your mentee's engagement and sharing something that brings you joy. Playful mentoring can take many forms, from planned activities to spontaneous moments of humor. By incorporating play into your interactions, you empower and respect your mentee while creating a more enjoyable and effective mentoring relationship and overall programmatic approach. Join us to learn more about the benefits of play!
