Exploring Mentoring Breaks and Breakdowns: The Seven Types of Rest
In this episode of Neuromentoring, hosts Lucy and Brian have a good old think about mentoring breaks and breakdowns, focusing on the need for rest and offering insights from Dalton-Smith’s 'seven types of rest' framework. Throughout their conversation, they emphasize the importance of various forms of rest including physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, and spiritual rest, and how they individually and collectively support both mentors and mentees in achieving better well-being and productivity.
