Abstract	The creation of a relational, co-mentoring community for aspiring school leaders during their certification program may allow these future leaders to participate in a peer-mentoring process wherein they engage one another in interdependence, experience reciprocal growth-fostering interactions, and tackle issues related to systemic power. The relational mentoring process creates a network of colleagues who understand the nature of the work of a principal candidate and who provide support and promote trust, knowing what they reveal will be held in confidence. This study focuses on two questions: How does the process of self-portraiture help principal candidates reflect on the kind of leader they want to become? How do principal candidates mentor one another through the self-portraiture process? The self-portrait is a form of auto-ethnography that the principal candidates write and share with one another as a part of the certification coursework. (As Provided).
