Mentor Reflection

I have not yet worked in a school setting, but I have worked in several agencies and offices where collaboration with colleagues was present. One agency I have worked in was a domestic violence shelter, which housed up to forty-five women and children. In addition, we ran a twenty-four hour crisis hotline, provided individual and group counseling services, and educated those out in the community about domestic violence. It took a lot of collaboration with colleagues to have the agency run smoothly and effectively. When issues arose with clients staying in the shelter, my colleagues and I would met to discuss the issues and how we were going to work together to solve them. Together we were able to discuss all of these factors and agree upon

The goal of the Pre-Health and Science Peer Mentors Program is to help first year African-American students with pre-health interests engage fully in the Washington University experience. As one of nine mentors, I was assigned multiple students and tasked with helping them maneuver through the myriad of challenges associated with entering Washington University. Even as the mentor, I found this experience valuable as it allowed me to reflect upon my past challenges and translate these experiences into advice while developing a community amongst other pre-medical minority students. I attended training meetings, and met with my mentees multiple times during the

This course allowed me to gain so much knowledge on many aspects of collaboration and mentorship. I have been able to look back and reflect on all the different themes covered and have noticed that the overall take home message is understanding the importance of collaboration and the significant role nurses play within healthcare as mentors. In addition, I have learned many helpful strategies to effective group work, especially in an online environment one being open communication. Being in healthcare we know communication is valuable and an essential tool. We learned concepts that could also affect teamwork and collaboration and how to obtain a positive process in problem solving. Throughout the term we explored many different concepts

The article was centered around a mentor and mentee. Mentoring programs are becoming more and more popular everyday. These programs are designed to help beginning mentees find experienced mentors. When this happens it can lead to amazing results for both sides. The article suggests that mentors play significant roles when it comes to their proteges success. Both go hand in hand, and in the long run they will both teach one another. This helps them grow and benefit greatly, more so for the protege.

In the Navy and Marine Corps providing feedback and counseling to Sailors and Marines is a critical skill that every leader must possess. For this assignment, I was tasked with providing counseling and guidance to a struggling 3/C Midshipmen in my company on how they could improve in meeting the standards with regards to morally, mentally, and physically. For the counseling, I chose 3/C Burns who was struggling academically with a D at six weeks in Thermodynamics, a major course in his matrix. With this Midshipman struggling to meet the mission mentally, I was keen on attacking the issue before it developed into a major problem by providing advice, counseling, and a personal story of being in his place before.

As an experienced writer and copyeditor at a well known publishing company for 6 years my expertise will meet your departments needs and wants. As a Production Coordinator and Content Project Manager at Cengage Learning, coordinating revisions was one of my main job priorities. Attending team meetings for each book I worked on, going through revisions and drafts with my fellow team members and sending notes to the author on a regular basis on changes and updates that needed to be made. This was done on a weekly and bi-weekly basis depending on deadlines that needed to be met on our timeline. Organization and attention to detail is one of many strengths that I possess and is a critical attribute to doing my job. There is a lot of material

On the surface, Carnegie Mellon checks all the boxes. It is an academically rigorous, midsize university where I can pursue my passions for business, design, cross country, and track. However, it wasn’t until I spent three days on campus speaking with faculty members, coaches, students, and admissions officers that I knew CMU was the right place for me.

This week I observed the challenges my mentor faces when applying accommodations to her students. The biggest challenge she faces is finding extra time for small group instruction. Meaning she needs time to explain lessons to certain students. How does she overcome it? By analysing the data to fit more students in a group. This observation lasted 270 minutes.

The purpose of this essay is to reflect upon aspects of my professional practice and development that I have encountered during my time as a student mentor. This reflective essay shall be written in the first person, In accordance with the NMC (2002) Code Of Professional Conduct, Confidentiality shall be maintained and all names have been changed to protect identity.

During these short winter days with their few precious hours of daylight, I’m reminded of our PALS Mentors, and the bright lights they have been to those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. After the initial shock of receiving this diagnosis, taking those first tentative steps into this unknown territory requires a sense of trust that the treatment process will lead to better things. Those who have already walked a similar path are in a perfect position to nurture that confidence. Some who are newly diagnosed with this disease will have strong support systems among their families and friends; others go it alone or with minimal support. Wherever a person may lie on the spectrum of support, most derive great benefit and reassurance from conversations with others who have “been there”.

During my time with the Project Engage 2.0 program this semester I took part in four different activities. These activities, while being fun, improved my leadership skills, team building skills, and my critical thinking skills.

At this stage of my career, it makes sense that I enroll in the Collegewide Leadership Development Program because I’ve performed many administration and management tasks such as, but not limited to: Chairing the collegewide AET/CMT curriculum redesign, provided leadership as President of the Faculty Senate for two years, acquired articulation agreements with senior institutions, and provided Blackboard and mentorship support to adjuncts.

In this spring semester, I have a great mentoring experience with Dr. Richard Brundage. Dr. Richard Brundage has a unique background in pharmacy world because he owns Doctor of Pharmacy degree as well as Doctor of Philosophy in pharmaceuticals. He is now a professor at University of Minnesota, College of Pharmacy, Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology (ECP). His research interests are pharmacometrics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. I am familiar with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, but pharmacometrics is a new concept and area to me. And Dr. Richard Brundage explains his research interest to me with a great passion and proud. Pharmacometrics is a field where people use different mathematics

The aim of this essay is to discuss on how the reflection on mentorship will be undertaken, how and why the model of reflection will be used and the importance of confidentiality. I will reflect the mentorship by ensuring that the mentee during clinical practice is put at ease throughout the learning experience of four weeks (Quinn, and Hughes 2007, p. 29). Also, I will use the principle of Kolb’s learning cycle as my model of reflection because reflecting is an essential element of learning. As I am the mentor, I will follow this cycle in a clockwise direction with Jude, so she would have to reflect on the skills learnt by reviewing the whole situation (Kolb’s learning cycle 1984 in Rose and Best 2005, p.129). This would enable Jude to

I think one of the most valuable lessons I have learned is that success is not spontaneous. It takes work, dedication, time, thought, and an eagerness to achieve. This lesson has been taught to me over and over again, and I was first introduced to it in grade school by my kindergarden teacher. This lesson has shaped my life. I love it because it applies to anybody, it does not matter what their background is, especially as children. Children are insanely impressionable, and I think it is important that they learn as soon as possible that the outcome of their life is completely up to them. This is why I want to be an elementary school teacher. I want to find those kids that may not have the best home lives, the quickest brains, the most
