WHAT DID I GAIN?

APART FROM THE GOODIES

PEOPLE

               BEING A COACH/MENTOR

    



  • Did Rails coaching for the first time at today!! Nothing matches the satisfaction that u get out of teaching others!

  • Mentoring the was a humbling experience. I should do this more often. e
  • Coaching for the first time! Awesome experience! :-) 

  • Mentoring is super fun because it makes me evaluate my own understanding :)



LOVE THE BUZZ

The energy is awesome.

While the kids are at play, the parents code away.



WHAT DID OTHERS FEEL?


  • Its a truly rewarding experience to have been able to help someone learn, in even the smallest way possible.
  • Learning By Mentoring.
  • There are people who were able to start a whole new career thanks to Rails Girls.
  • One of our attendees in July 2012 who wrote in our guest book that she hoped she would keep on coding and who read it almost one year after, at our anniversary workshop, as she was coaching herself <3
  • I've watched people do something they believe was magical. That's awesome.

That's all ! 

Just One
