Mentoring: The TAO of Giving & Receiving

“In Tao mentoring, each individual is interdependent in a relationship of mutual fulfillment, compassion, love, and respect, in an atmosphere of openness,communication, and loyalty. It is an egoless dance that encourages us to be empathetic, to dig deep within ourselves for a selfless reflection of the other person’s state of mind and reasons for action or inaction.”

Relationships

Breakout Rooms (10 minutes)

Reflect for a few minutes. Then each person takes a couple minutes to share; listen deeply during each share. After all have shared, if you have time, engage about the themes that arose.

​

1. Share a time that you received feedback that really helped you. What was helpful? (eg the content, the way it was given) And/OR
2. Share your philosophy/ theology of giving feedback.

​

We’re Back!

Share in chat (your own stories, or learnings, not other peoples’ stories):

​

• Anything that resonated for you?
• Any a-ha moments, or anything that crystalized for you?

Breakout Rooms (20 minutes)

Select a scenario you would like to give feedback for. One gives, one gets feedback, and the others in the group observe. At the end of the scenario, debrief with each person sharing how they experienced the conversation / what values it reflected. Then let another person in your group practice giving feedback. Continue until everyone who wishes to has had the chance to give and receive.

Emergent Strategy

“We had a vision for the kind of world we wanted to see, but we weren’t modeling that internally.”

Adrienne Marie Brown

Emergent Strategy

• We had to begin to practice deep, authentic collaboration.

​

• We had to figure out what humility looked like on all sides.

​

• We learned that every member of the community holds pieces of the solution.

​

• We learned that in organizing and relationships, accountability is key.
