Mentor Development
For December, the challenges will center around the theme of Family. This week’s challenge is for you to spend a little time with someone in your mentee’s family. This could look a lot of ways. Some options are:
1) Hang around for a few minutes and talk to mom/dad/guardian when you pick up or drop off your mentee.
2) Invite a family member to come along on one of your excursions.
3) Plan on doing something at your mentee’s home while the family is around
Try to get to know a little more about the people in your mentee’s life so you can understand their world just a little bit more.
In December you will be discussing Communication in your coaching meetings. Be sure to check out the articles and videos here.

Jazz at Sequoya: Gerri DiMaggio Quartet
Saturday, December 21; 2:00-4:00pm
Sequoya Library – 4340 Tokay Blvd, Madison
Join us for Saturday Jazz! This month, we welcome the Gerri DiMaggio Quartet. With the sound of a night club singer right out of a 1940s film noir, Gerri DiMaggio evokes romantic nostalgia with a modern edge. Her expressive singing, warm earthiness, and emotional insight prove that she is a true believer in the power of storytelling. That is their goal: to inspire joy through music. Jazz at Sequoya features local musicians on the third Saturday of every month.
We love seeing photos of you and your mentee spending time together! Please share them with us via your coach or using the hashtag #intentionalmentoringmadison
