I am looking forward to being challenged in my thinking, assumptions and attitudes

I have really loved the 'top-tips' learnt from Aurora, some of these have been in the informal sessions

# data[].attributes.body
I joined the first workshop on identity, impact and voice. I appreciate it is not the same as doing it in person, but I believe the Aurora programme is still very effective and helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
And it would be good to know about previous Aurorans

Found it a bit tricky to provide an example for the Action Learning Set.  I have experienced tricky situations in the past but haven't any recent significant issues to discuss

# data[].attributes.body
I've set up meetings with my mentor following each session so we can discuss the theme and relating this to work. We've had some good conversations but would like to find out from others how they have found their mentor sessions.

# data[].attributes.body
I need IT support, how to set up teams for external people, for my action learning set. Also how about a site for us all to share info, a forum, an AC room etc?

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't met with my mentor yet--how do the sessions tend to work? Does the Auroran take the lead and plan the sessions actively or do they just sort of evolve?

Plan.  Give yourself time to think about what you have learnt from your sessions and what you might need to explore or talk about with your mentor. Use them as a resource and a network.

Talen and development have provided some great support in facilitating bring members together and it would great to continue this. We need more networking space

I have never prioritised time for building networks or seeking a mentor. Must change that - but find myself busier than ever.
