One On One Mentorship Topics
The topics outlined here, are not individual workshop titles or compartmentalized study. They’re suggested topics that certainly, in my experience, have vast connectedness with each other. This is where the “personalized” nature of my teaching becomes more than rhetoric; your and my ability to choose and interconnect topics and willingness to add or subtract on the fly as our educational dialogue evolves.
