BEING A COACH/MENTOR

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

Awesome experience in mentoring #railsgirlspune :D Where's the next one !!! #RailsGirls

Mentoring the @railsgirls was a humbling experience. I should do this more often. #railsgirlspune
Coaching for the first time! Awesome experience! :-)

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

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 !
