. a b o u t   p a r a c e l e t e   m e n t o r i n g Paraclete mentoring is an interactive, ongoing, relational process using site-based and virtual sessions to guide leaders toward enhanced, collaborative solutions. Paraclete Mentors "come alongside" leadership over the course of a project, offering real time wisdom and mentoring to stimulate and draw upon the deep wisdom resources of the leader while linking them with new collaborators. Sessions are a mix of sited and virtual conversations drawing upon sensory tools that heighten intuitive resources of the client. Sessions are uniquely tailored for individuals, team leaders, and systems and have been highly effective in the creation of innovative strategy for new and emerging projects.
