Participants are encouraged to do a pre-workshop task, selecting images that they feel best represent their perception of the mentor role. Participants will then work in break out groups and consider what as mentors we should acknowledge might influence our unconscious communication with our mentees. Literature has shown that an integral part of successful mentoring partnerships is critical reflection before, during, and after mentoring conversations so that we don’t fall into preconceptions of the mentor role which can be difficult to change (Nyanjom 2020 and Langdon et al.2016) and a recycling of power hierarchy as the mentee progresses to mentor (Darwin 2000). Part one of the workshop will begin this reflection and participants will be left with some resources to continue this reflection with mentees.
