Good way to find out what your mentee needs? Ask them! What are they trying to learn? What barriers have they met? @lunaraven13 #PyDX

Finding common ground is most important part of mentoring - you only need one thing. Ex: musicals @lunaraven13 #PyDX

Giving Feedback: on performance, not personality. Specific. Timely.
Listening: be open, not thinking about what to say @lunaraven13 #PyDX

“Some people may devour CS books. Goodness help them.” Recognize & empower different learning needs, styles, resources @lunaraven13 #PyDX

Anyone can mentor. Easy to find volunteer opportunities. Try Web search. “Still can’t find them? Call me! I’ll help you!” @lunaraven13 #PyDX

On mentoring with impostor syndrome: evaluate mentee level & what they’re asking for. Don’t know? Know one who does? Ask them! @lunaraven13

(Brian aside: favorite mentor moments have been “I don’t know. Let’s find out!” since research is a thing to teach too) @lunaraven13 #PyDX

Would love to stay for end of #PyDX but my surprisingly social week has me on my way. It’s been real, it’s been fun, and it’s been real fun!
