Navigating Roles.pdf

Reflection Prompts

  • What are the different roles you play throughout the day? Student? Mentor? Friend? Family member? Do any of your roles ever conflict?
  • Which of your roles do you find the most demanding? The most rewarding? The most stressful? (Maybe some of your roles are all three...)
  • Do you remember any times when someone was trying to help you and fell into more of a coaching role? What impact did that have for you? What about moments when someone took on more of a mirror role to help you?

Potential Discussion Prompts

  • Thinking about your interactions with your PEBLs so far, are there times when you notice you are taking on a coaching role or a mirror role? What impact does each seem to have on your PEBLs?
  • Do you find yourself using different approaches/taking on different roles as a GEM depending on the context? (For example, assisting during lab vs 1-on-1 meetings) Do you find yourself taking on different roles with different PEBLs?
