April Luncheon Event: Are You Ready for Modern Mentoring?

Are You Ready for Modern Mentoring?
             

Presenter: Randy Emelo

Founder and Chief Strategist, River

Traditional mentoring, as we know it, is dead.  Forget one-to-one relationships that are for the few and the elite.  Forget mentors and protégés that fall into and are limited by defined roles and expectations, particularly around who can play what part.  Forget programs that are highly structured, tightly controlled, and designed with a shelf-life.  This is not the way mentoring occurs in the 21^st century. 

Today, mentoring is about open, flexible and dynamic learning relationships where anyone can take part, anyone can connect to share information and insights, and anyone can be a learner or advisor.  This new approach is modern mentoring, and it is here to stay.

If you would like to know more about the changing face of mentoring and how it can help your organization, join us for our April luncheon presentation featuring Randy Emelo, author of Modern Mentoring (ATD Press, 2015).
