Beyond Imparting Knowledge: Mentorship That Builds Self-Awareness and Empowerment CORE

Thursday October 22, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm PDT

Mentorship goes beyond imparting knowledge. It is about helping emerging leaders grow confident in their decision-making, develop sound judgment, and gain a deeper understanding of their own capabilities and limits so they can lead others safely and effectively.

Self-awareness and empowerment are often viewed as natural by-products of gaining experience and learning new skills. But what if we challenged that notion? What if we treated them not as benevolent outcomes, but as concrete skills we can actively train and strengthen.

In this workshop, we will explore practical techniques for mentoring with intention focusing specifically on how to cultivate self-awareness and empowerment as core leadership skills in the outdoor leaders you mentor.
