We often find ourselves in situations where we have to knowledge share and mentor others, but we often don't take the time to learn _how_ to be better mentors.

So are we doing it right?

Through my work as Mentor Director for a monthly coding class, I've been able to compile effective methods through research and experience that will help all developers be better mentors, whether within an established mentor/mentee relationship or quick day-to-day teaching opportunities.

By being thoughtful and deliberate in mentoring moments, even sometimes in counterintuitive ways, we can all be a part of creating richer tech communities that foster inclusivity and thrive on collective growth.
