Webinar: Creating transformational mentoring relationships for mentees, mentors and their workplaces – an interview with Lisa Fain
There are some people that are seemingly gifted with natural mentoring abilities however there is an underlying ‘art of mentoring’ that is not an easily obtained capability and is likely a skill that the best mentors are aware that they are ever evolving and mastering.
In different contexts for example their style or approach must shift or adapt to the environment which the best mentors can identify as a relationship becomes further established, moving into new phases of the relationship.
Alex Richardson, Art of Mentoring’s CEO, interviews Centre for Mentoring Excellence CEO and leadership expert Lisa Fain on her new book, co-authored with her mother, mentoring expert Dr. Lois Zachary. Lisa is a global speaker, and an expert in the intersection of cultural competency and mentoring. Her passion for diversity and inclusion fuels her strong conviction, that leveraging differences creates a better workplace and drives better business results.
The Mentor’s Guide: Facilitating Effective Learning Relationships, Third Edition, is a comprehensive resource to help businesses and organizations fulfil their
needs by using mentoring to promote growth and development, accelerate learning, fast-track leadership, improve retention, elevate morale, strengthen recruitment, and promote diversity. This rich, practical, and actionable guide is designed for leaders, managers, and educators in educational, non-profit, corporate, and government sectors.
What would your life or career have been like without the mentors that helped guide you? Or conversely what would it have been like if you had great mentors in your corner?
