Mentoring

“The biggest challenge I see new practitioners grappling with is that don’t know how much they already know. I see mentoring as an act of encouragement and confirmation of the practitioners’ skills – a reminder of just how fabulous they are and that the world is waiting for them.  Einstein said ‘intuition does not come to an unprepared mind’. The students’ minds are already prepared.  By graduation they have gathered a large tool box of great skills. Now is the time to lean into that prepared mind and be enveloped by the intuition. Let that intuition puts its arms around the intellect and embrace it. That is really what my best mentoring skill is – teaching practitioner how to master the fusion of intuition and intellect.”
