Reflective Mentorship

Reflection is a tool that enhances a professional’s capacity to recognize feelings, thoughts, and intentions in themselves and others, and to link these to behavior. Integrating reflective practice into the routine structure of nonprofit leaders has proven beneficial to direct providers, supervisors, consultants, and agencies. Relective Mentorship provides a space for learning and development for Early Childhood Nonprofit Leaders, leaning heavily into reflective practice in providing individualized support (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). Group mentorship available for early childhood nonprofit teams.
