    Good communication is essential to the success of any relationship, and mentoring relationships are no exception.  We tend to know good communication when we hear it, but it’s important for mentors to practice these skills with our mentees. 

    In this workshop, we will discuss how to:

    1. Provide constructive feedback
    2. Develop multiple strategies for improving communication
    3. Engage in active listening

    Breakfast will be served.
