2009/10 Mentors -Activity five

The activity for 23rd October 2009 is labelled "activity five" but will be the third activity you have done with your mentees. I'm writing this a) to discover if anyone is reading this and b) to invite you to give me any feedback on your experience of being a mentor so far. I know we meet regularly but we don't always have time for your problems, and not everybody is happy sharing their thoughts in public. Charlotte has talked about one or two things that have bothered her and I'm sure she won't be afraid to ask for help again, so tug my sleeve if you have to and don't suffer in silence.

The fact is, we are always trying to improve how we do things and your views are vital if we are to succeed. If I don't hear from you, I assume all is well.

Just to repeat a point I made recently: if you are struggling with your group, it may be worth linking up with another mentor and combining your mentees. It won't mean you have failed, it will mean you are being resourceful and creative.
