| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk I will start off with Q1. Why is mentoring important for us in our journeys as OT students and practitioners? https://t.co/NoqN1uJJpu |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT Evening! Thanks for joining us 😁 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ this is my cameo this year in hosting. Not sure when I will host again. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] yup- it's different from supervising because it's related to CPD. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT Hello! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I concur with that. I know when I have my own CPD mentors, I purposely picked people who have experiences in leadership positions in AOTA that I might be interested in serving and/or are familiar with how AOTA works. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Another criteria I picked my mentors was- hearing my mentors presented across the globe actually inspired me to connect and present abroad as well. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: [REDACTED USER] I concur with that. I know when I have my own CPD mentors, I purposely picked people who have experiences in l… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] yup- mentorship can be a 2 way street. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] My ventures in TEDx world actually was my own idea, though it was inspired from a late CPD mentor that I had. It is not easy when nobody else in OT had experience with organizing one of these events. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] of course I do... but I will wait for you guys to contribute first... hehe! #otalk |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT This is SO important, I agree 💯. It can be the make or break situation of either: lighting the spark within you, or danger of the spark fizzling out completely! 💚👍 #OTalk |
 | Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT Support without a power dynamic #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk Alright... getting ready for question 2. What qualities you are looking for in your CPD mentor? (I will be more specific this time because my first question wasn't too clear.) |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @thisisnix [REDACTED USER] for sure- it's a delicate balance. Sometimes mentors need to step in also when the mentees are overambitious or overestimating their capabilities. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] you need to make your tweets public and put in the #otalk hashtag. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] yes- I am sure I am passing on the knowledge of running TEDx events to my CPD mentors... muhahahaha! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] that's a good one! I remembered my late CPD mentor empowered me to learn how to share #valueofOT to general public whenever possible. #otalk |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @BillWongOT 'Triple T' on mentor qualities: 🔘Transparency. 🔘Trust. 🔘Target-supporting. #OTalk 💚 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] yes- I think mentors should be enthusiastic to mentor you. It should not feel a chore. Also, compassion is important because there are times mentees need support to get back up on their feet during their professional journeys. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @thisisnix: @BillWongOT 'Triple T' on mentor qualities: 🔘Transparency. 🔘Trust. 🔘Target-supporting. #OTalk 💚 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @thisisnix: @BillWongOT 'Triple T' on mentor qualities: 🔘Transparency. 🔘Trust. 🔘Target-supporting. #OTalk 💚 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @thisisnix yes- transparency is important too. I know there are times I ask my CPD mentors about what I could be in for if I choose to pursue certain things in my OT journey. I want to hear their unbiased opinions first before listening to their experiences. #otalk |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix 💯 Agree. 💚👇 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chaniedavies [REDACTED USER] the third point is a good one. I remembered when I first started out in OT, I just wanted to have a smooth sailings and rather plain and ordinary career. But, my mentors told me about the importance of consistently growing as an OT practitioner! #otalk |
 | Caitlin Sparling OT @OtCaitlin @BillWongOT I definitely agree with enthusiasm. Also patience and compassion #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk Alright... I am firing up question 3. If you are going to be a CPD mentor for someone in OT some day, what qualities you are looking for in your mentee? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OtCaitlin: @BillWongOT I definitely agree with enthusiasm. Also patience and compassion #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: #otalk Alright... I am firing up question 3. If you are going to be a CPD mentor for someone in OT some day, what qualities… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OtCaitlin: @BillWongOT I definitely agree with enthusiasm. Also patience and compassion #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] for sure- I try to have these 3 qualities when I have mentees from @OTDiversity minority mentorship program. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Better late than never 😁 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] yes- mentees taking ownership of their CPD goals and be as self directed as they can are good qualities. #otalk |
| Caitlin Sparling OT @OtCaitlin @BillWongOT If it was me I would want someone who was proactive and had really thought about what they were hoping to get out of the experience #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] When my late CPD mentor was alive, she definitely challenged my perceptions about what I can do in the OT world. Apparently there were avenues I had not thought of at the time. So I try to incorporate what she would have challenged me to do even today. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OtCaitlin: @BillWongOT If it was me I would want someone who was proactive and had really thought about what they were hoping to get ou… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ yes- approachability is also important. I know although I have a million things on my plate, I will carve time to make sure my @otdiversity Minority mentorship program mentees have sufficient opportunities to talk to me on how to support them in their journeys. #otalk |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT 💯 Agree.☝️💚 I've never thought about use of the term 'experienced' the way you mention about being distorted, that's v.interesting & true. #OTalk 🤔 #RethinkTermsUsed 👍 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] yes- I know I try to keep that up in the classroom I teach at as well, especially since I am teaching a leadership and management course. Drowning students' enthusiasm during this precious time is a no-no! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk Alright... question 4. In terms of CPD mentorship, do you prefer formal or informal mentorship? Is there an ideal length of time for these mentoring relationships? |

| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix RT @thisisnix: @BillWongOT 'Triple T' on mentor qualities: 🔘Transparency. 🔘Trust. 🔘Target-supporting. #OTalk 💚 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahInnes16 One of my CPD mentees from @otdiversity is autistic. So, the fact that she sees me presenting domestically and abroad has been invaluable for her to see what she can possibly do in her future. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I sure fit "the road less travelled" definition with my OT career. I have some traditional elements. But, there are also times I am experimenting... lol! #otalk https://t.co/ydhnxvBjj7 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I know in the USA, there are occasionally formal CPD mentorship opportunities available. So, that was why I asked the length of time question. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahInnes16 Yes- that's a reason why I am connected with a billion people in the OT world on social media. #otalk https://t.co/1gFfvn5aXg |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I brought the length of time issue up because when people are having their mentoring experiences in @otdiversity minority mentorship program, some are feeling that a year for a formal CPD mentorship program is too long. #otalk |

| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT #OTalk both ideally... Need [REDACTED USER] all the time 😉 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @chaniedavies: [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT #OTalk both ideally... Need [REDACTED USER] all the time 😉 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT My own answer 2 Q4. When I was newly qualified, I tend to prefer formal. I knew I got a lot to learn still. I also wanted to know the lay of the land before deciding what to focus on. Now, I prefer informal because I know what I want and need occasional guidance 2 proceed. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahInnes16 It's the good o' "I may not know the answer to your questions, but I know somebody who might." #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk wow... 5 minutes left. Time sure flies! Takeaways from today's discussion? https://t.co/d29rHhP91W |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: #otalk wow... 5 minutes left. Time sure flies! Takeaways from today's discussion? https://t.co/d29rHhP91W |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] For example, a common advice I received in the early days of qualifying is to present my work abroad (as my mentees knew the impact of my work professionally). But, they left me to experiment where to take such, which is fine with me. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] in my early days of mentoring, I do informal. So, I meet OT students every 3 months via lunch. Now I am doing formal, I think it's important to get feedback from my mentees if they feel it is too one sided. #otalk |
| Nix 🤓 @thisisnix @BillWongOT This was a really thought provoking #OTalk discussion. Many thanks to all involved for your comments that got me reflecting a lot! 💚 Thanks @OTalk_ @BillWongOT for hosting. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @thisisnix: @BillWongOT This was a really thought provoking #OTalk discussion. Many thanks to all involved for your comments that got me… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] for sure about fluidity. I got to know more about myself through my experiences in OT. Hence, I would replace CPD goals that are no longer realistic for me from time to time. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] One thing for sure I have told my CPD mentors over the years- I have stamina and passion to be AOTA president some day, BUT my leadership skills make me a poor fit for a 3 year term. I don't wanna be US OT's version of Donald Trump! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks @BillWongOT for hosting tonight's #OTalk! https://t.co/AIxlh7CQMK |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 1. I think you got to know what your preferences are first. My top preferences are compatibility, approachability, and competence. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ If you learned anything from this chat and want to record it as part of your CPD, please take a look at our reflective resources over on the website #OTalk https://t.co/hEhcGDc7EZ |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 2. The answer would be no. Life happens during our careers. I had to think about who to replace my late CPD mentor almost 7 years ago because she passed away. So, I spent 2-3 months searching for the right ones. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And thank you to everyone who took part! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 3. I think you will know more about CPD mentoring once you have someone helping you in this department. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: Thanks @BillWongOT for hosting tonight's #OTalk! https://t.co/AIxlh7CQMK |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @BillWongOT Had an interesting discussion today and hoping maybe have sorted this... Someone who working in partnership with will take my thinking to places beyond my imagination right now... Fingers crossed #OTalk Great discussion as always |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] At this stage of my career, I know how to sit at power tables at OT conferences already (at RCOT and CAOT) when I attend them as international guest. But, being the lead dog for TEDx events have told me that I don't fit well as a future AOTA president. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: And thank you to everyone who took part! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] At that time, I have a pretty good network already. So, I had a top 5 or 10 list from what I remember. So, I just went down the line based on my preferences. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @chaniedavies @OTalk_ I think it depends. If you have a formal program, the program will do the pairing for you. If you prefer informal, it's OK to feel the persons you want to target out first for a while before you pop the question. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Despite all the stuff that I do in OT, I prefer to be laid back as well. I try to have a balance of that and some seriousness so that I can cater to a wild range of people when I provide CPD mentoring. #otalk |
