- Connected Ritikaa to an organisation as per her project need
- Built accountability: I asked and called out to check when the update was due if such a date was decided. I also made sure I always got back. 
- Bringing it back to self and consistently asking what is it that they wished to learn.
- shared opportunities outside of fellowship where they could learn from- and they did grab some of those. and nudged them to wok together with each other and others.

I have enjoyed working with them..however, I feel a lot of it is also their own motivation, while I had to just ensure to show up, when they looked for their cheerleader. ]]> 2021-02-03 09:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/meenakshiruhelaa/fkvbqoqi4umovp8j/wish/1157668953 Arathi arathikurup https://padlet.com/meenakshiruhelaa/fkvbqoqi4umovp8j/wish/1157673284 last 3 months in the mentoring journey been for you? - Evolving

Challenges - having to incorporate two different styles of mentoring for two diff ppl

Learning - Seeing my own ability to flex and find the centering for myself to look at their journeys objectively.

one thing I would like to try in my journey going ahead? - Help the current team bring together the fellowship framework and design process as a working document so that it can become a tangible handover for the future.

The journey had been really challenging but the 121 spaces have really helped me understand how can I improvise to create a space of reflection for mentees.

I have identified value in being empathetic towards mentee struggle with their regular school or college. While I could see I should have used the hammering style but I struggled using that and being more on the tuning for side. While Caroline is more learning oriented and Sourav is extremely task oriented, I face challenge in balancing the dynamics while having conversations with them.

Going further, I would like to switch more to hammering side and create space for them to take more accountability for their project by ensuring regular follow ups]]> 2021-02-03 09:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/meenakshiruhelaa/fkvbqoqi4umovp8j/wish/1157677466 shilpishabdita https://padlet.com/meenakshiruhelaa/fkvbqoqi4umovp8j/wish/1157694462 Shilpi 
- Co-creating a big picture vision with the mentee, and not remaining limited to the next event/workshop - building a more expansive vision of the journey.
- Actively reaching out even when she struggles to, showing solidarity

What I'd like to try in the coming months-
- Participate in her workshop
- Nudge her to seek feedback from the participants and assess impact ]]> 2021-02-03 09:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/meenakshiruhelaa/fkvbqoqi4umovp8j/wish/1157694462 Parth https://padlet.com/meenakshiruhelaa/fkvbqoqi4umovp8j/wish/1157699635 Understanding mentee’s personality, his learning needs and general outlook and explore through hit and trial what works best with him. It has also taught me to adapt and course correct on my feet. 

It has been challenging to keep pushing the mentee in spite of things not being reciprocated by him. How to move forward when the mentee’s willingness is in question. 

I have been trying to strike a balance between controlling and letting go in order to provide mentee with just the right amount of handholding.
