UHI Mentoring Development Workshops: Giving feedback and sharing experience

This workshop will explore when mentors should share their own experiences with mentees, and approaches to giving feedback in mentoring. Being self-aware and considering when mentees will benefit from the mentor's experience and knowledge, as well as developing approaches to feedback will ensure mentors don’t fall into approaches to mentoring which become mentor led which will disempower and demotivate mentees.

Optional pre-workshop task: Watch/listen to the following short videos on LinkedIn learning. You will first need to sign into LinkedIn learning with your university log in details.
