Effective Mentoring in the Workplace

Mentorship can be highly rewarding for both mentors and their mentees. Through this relationship both parties can gain new perspectives, expand their existing networks, grow their confidence, and develop as professionals. 

As a mentor, you can play a pivotal role in someone’s career development; you might just be that person they will look back on in a decade’s time and see your input as the turning point for their career success. Becoming a mentor gives you the opportunity to share your knowledge and experience, to support personal and professional development, to make connections, and to inspire excellence. 

On this workshop you will learn the essential skills and techniques required to become an inspirational mentor. You will learn to develop a range of mentoring styles to support the mentee to the benefit of individual and organisation, and will focus on how to balance challenge and support for your mentee.

• Are you looking for something extra to give you a real sense of fulfilment at work?
• Are you passionate about developing other people and strengthening your organisation’s talent base?
