Why Mentoring?
A young writer's journey is as unique as their voice. We understand that tailored and personalized feedback, focused on each writer's specific needs and goals, is crucial for their growth. Our mentoring sessions are designed around the principle that every young writer deserves to be challenged and supported within an environment that respects their individuality and ambitions. This bespoke approach ensures feedback is purposeful and aligned solely with the writer's objectives, fostering an environment where creativity can truly flourish.
How I Approach Mentoring
My mentoring process begins with understanding the young writer at a fundamental level:
- DISC Profile: I employ the DISC profile tool to ensure feedback is received and processed in a way that aligns with each young writer's preferences and helps them become more aware of their own creative processes and thoughts. After our first feedback session, parents get a copy of their profile to keep for themselves and share with family.
- Chemistry Call: Before commencing our journey together, I conducted a chemistry call session focused on goal setting and ensuring a mutual fit. We discuss how they want to use upcoming sessions and potential milestones. This foundational step is key to a successful mentor-mentee relationship.
What My Mentoring Sessions Offer
- Personalized Sessions: Each writer receives bi-weekly mentoring tailored to their specific needs. These sessions can be used for skill development, editing, or any other area the writer wishes to focus on.
- Goal-Oriented Feedback: My feedback is always purposeful and designed to support the young writer's goals and project development.
- Supportive Environment: Challenges are presented in a supportive and encouraging manner, fostering a safe space for growth and learning.
- Integrated Writer's Workshops: In addition to personalized mentoring, all mentees gain access to the Writers’ workshops. These sessions provide a dedicated space for young writers to continue working on their projects, applying their skills and insights, and testing ideas gained during mentoring.
My Commitment
In your mentoring sessions, I’m committed to providing a personalized and goal-oriented approach to support each young writer's unique journey.
