Australian Christian Mentoring Network – Mentor Brunch in Hobart

Tim and I enjoyed brunch with a group of mentors from the South this morning. We heard about each other’s involvement in mentoring, reflected together on the similarities and differences of mentoring practices and those of supervision, coaching, and spiritual direction, and shared resources we use in mentoring.

We have another mentor brunch is in Launceston on October 21. Email luke@communitasaustralia.com.au for information. Stay connected with us via our Facebook group.

Chaplaincy Australia – Providing support in times of conflict

Tim and I joined Chaplaincy Australia supervisors and mentors from Perth via Zoom to resource them to support supervisors and mentors when they face times of conflict.

The presentation from the workshop and resources referred to will be emailed to those who participated by the Chaplaincy Australia team.

The workshop is being repeated on the evening of March 20. See Coming Events on the Chaplaincy Australia website for more information.

Mentoring Leadership – Workshop 7

The seventh and final of a series of workshops with members of the Transform Southern Sydney mentoring group occurred on zoom this morning. Tim commenced with a word study on ‘imitate’ (mimeomai) in the New Testament and we considered its implications for mentoring. We reflected on the interpersonal skill of self-disclosure in mentoring and the dynamic of transference. We spent time considering common sources of pressure from subconscious processes and supporting mentors through Sabbaticals. It has been a delight to spend time with the mentoring group in the workshops.

Notes from the workshops are in the team Dropbox.
