final Mentoring workshop planning

We have had our planning meeting for the final mentoring pilot workshop. We met once, planned and finalised everything for this workshop a week before the workshop. This was an object lesson for me that shows leadership growth. At the start of the year we met six weeks out, had multiple meetings and I was very nervous.

This meeting was fast and only a week before-hand and I was excited! I came out of the meeting fired up by spending time with the wonderful people on the team. I've learned more from seeing them operate than I could ever learn from reading a book, not that research is an unworthy pursuit - not at all. 

I just mean that I was surprised by how much I had to learn and how much some very young people know already. The collaborative process with Abby, Kelly and Christine is one that I will treasure and one that will have a permanent influence my leadership style. Abby tells me that this experience is rare so I will cherish it all the more.
