In the past, mentoring was primarily about educating and training employees to climb the corporate ladder within a single company. While the model of an "ideal career" has changed dramatically, mentoring practices largely haven't. The problem is compounded by the fact that many mid-level and senior executives feel trapped in a less than ideal career themselves.
Key concepts covered in this webinar include:
- The difference between a sponsor and a mentor — and why you can't be both
- How to define success outside the traditional measures of salary and position
- How to connect personality, passions and strengths into a real career path
- Why your most talented protégés are at greatest risk of career implosion
- The assumptions that sabotage retention efforts, especially with women
Target audience: Managers and protégés looking to maximize the mentoring relationship
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.
