All the world is a stage...

... and we are but players on it" 

- W. Shakespeare 

(Yes, I know I should look it up and reference it properly but you get the idea so let's keep it between us ok?!)

The stage, a training room filled with tables, chairs and post it notes galore. The players, a collection of new and continuing Student Mentors who have pulled themselves out of summer hibernation. Throw in some lighting effects (damn those complicated switches), some action (including throwing a rubber pig at each other) and a large amount of music (can't beat karaoke for a social night) and you have the perfect ingredients for Mentor Training 2012.

Lets do the Time Warp

How many mentors fit on a sheet of A4?

What a fab
5 days they were! 

We explored 

values, networks, personality types, brand awareness, team building, project building, lego, pigs, juggling, affirmations, 

e-portfolios, goal setting and personal development. 

For me the most rewarding part was watching the physical and emotional changes in people as they went through the week and to see new connections and friendships being formed. What was mind blowing and humbling was the support for each other and the sense that here is a group of people rooting for each individual in that room to succeed in whatever they set their mind to. 

Topping the week off with my own graduation too, woah! What an emotional roller coaster I had, but what a rush!!
