SDForum Workshop - 'Mentoring: Your Secret Weapon' October 6, 2009

What Makes a Mentor? Moreover, personal mentoring can't just be about the top 20% of your young hires. All the professionals in your organization need mentoring customized to their individual needs, especially when assignment-based learning opportunities are limited. Last but not least, leaders of teams need to recognize that mentoring is a two-way street: Not only must partners mentor associates, but associates need to mentor one another.

This session will cover the ten marks of a great mentor and the five things a mentor will look for in you. Discover best practices; the ingredients that ensure successful partnerships; ones that can create career changing results. You will take away approaches you can put into action today for planning the future and increasing your chance of success.

Whether you are within a corporation, in transition, in a start-up or on your own, you, your organization and your community will greatly benefit from developing a mentoring plan that works.
