Star Journey to be Presented at National Mentoring Conference

 
The importance of mentoring and coaching continues to grow. We've just learned a session on Star Journey will be on the program of the 2011 National Mentoring Conference in October. Entitled "Exploration of a Strategy for Success," the presentation will show mentoring experts from many fields how Star Journey is an effective new tool for helping students with personal growth and adapting to change during times of uncertainty.

Participants will enjoy a first-hand, interactive experience using Star Journey symbols along with its guided process. Mental processes such as free association and creative visualization help both mentor and student identify and articulate issues and then create a plan for positive and constructive growth. The use of symbols, metaphor and guided imagery lead one to deeper awareness.

Leading the presentation will be Star Journey author Richard Geer; Sonya Hardin, PhD, Professor of Nursing, University of North Carolina–Charlotte; Gerry Marr, MA, MFT therapist and counselor; and Linda Lott, RN, Star Journey facilitator.

The conference theme is “Learning Across Disciplines”. The goal is to bring together mentoring professionals from around the world who offer practical applications, high quality research, hands-on workshops, and demonstrations of innovative approaches and developments in learning and performance through the establishment of mentoring relationships.

Conference keynote speaker is David Clutterbuck, co-founder of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. He is one of Europe’s most prolific and well-known writers and thinkers with more than 50 books and hundreds of articles published on cutting edge management, mentoring, and coaching themes.
