A4: 'New to the role staff' are prepared for the role and stay with the role/division. The mentee is successful and becomes one who can pass on skills to others. #vaespchat

A4: A trusting relationship!❤️ #vaespchat

A3: Ways to approach challenging conversations or situations. Strategies to 'get it all done' in a day (if possible) #vaespchat

A2: Building trust and a genuine relationship: one in which both people want to support one another for growth. Calling on the mentor during challenges and celebrations. Knowing the mentor will provide honest feedback!

A1: When I think of what I would need in a future mentor or coach....
Mentor: an individual for me to check in and bounce ideas off of based on their knowledge of the division and role
Coach: an individual who knows my school data and supports/guides me in moving ideas #VAESPChat
