I call my favorite mentor "Yoda" because of his wisdom and calm, gracious demeanor. I have learned from him that while students expect to be held accountable for their performance, they do not expect to be judged personally. Coaching is more effective when it doesn't involve an emotional reaction.
Thanks for this post, Chuck. What are one or two specific things your mentor said or did that made you want him as a mentor?

There was an educator with MS who worked on our campus he was confined to a electric cart and really only had use of one hand...
I have lupus so I have many ups and downs where I must use a cane or walker.. To see him work was incredible the students admired and respected him I believe he has forgotten more than I will ever know about engine systems
He keeps me in line, gives Purpose and focus !!!
Bonnie,
What are one or two of your mentor's specific behaviors that demonstrated his "true interest?"
