Attracting, developing and retaining talent has never been more important for organizational sustainability. Mentoring can play a key role by leveraging the talent and connections already in an organization to raise the level of organizational and personal success. It is effective at helping newcomers adjust to the organization and avoid the pitfalls of entering an unfamiliar culture, helping individuals identify and pursue a career path within the organization, facilitating adjustment to new assignments, and transferring valuable knowledge. So, you might be asked to mentor someone or be thinking about becoming a mentor. But, if you take on a mentoring assignment, what are you getting yourself into? What does a mentor do? How is it different from what a coach does? What do you have to do to get ready?
This webinar will provide an understanding of:
- The role of a mentor and how that is different from coaching;
- The seven functions a mentor performs; and
- Tips for executing the seven functions successfully.
Maximizing the Value of the Webinar
- Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
- Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
- Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
