My brain based chapter overview below
Abstract
Few disciplines have integrated neuro-cognitive interactive concepts into their literature, despite the fact that brain-based ideas influence all learning or teaching interactions. Since brain-based elements are central components in personal mentoring development, it seems imperative that this area be examined and considered in mentoring endeavors. This chapter introduces a mutual mentoring model within various settings, to show how a mind-guided approach engages academic goals and workplace skills achieved through reciprocating individual and collective strengths.
