Mentoring For Exceptional Performance

One of the most important factors in high performance is that every person is connected to a caring mentor who checks in at minimum, monthly, and asks the right questions, offers encouragement, and provides consistent, frequent support.

At its best, mentoring is a leadership development process for empowerment, the development of emotional and social intelligence, and task ownership. When mentoring is done effectively, it moves people from awareness to managing behavior in self and the dynamics in relationships.

Mentoring is best when it transfers responsibility to people while helping them to gain the courage and confidence in picking it up. In this program, participants learn why and how to create and use a mentoring process, template and tools to engage in a mentoring relationship or support others in doing so. The purpose is to enable the development intrinsic motivation and personal responsibility related to recognizing and being moved by meaningfulness, choice, competence and celebrations of success. Effective mentoring enables those mentored to gain skills in applying them so they commit to managing their relationships, productivity, engagement, tools mastery, and progress in a blueprint plan of action.

Why should you Attend: Mentoring is a priority in developing leadership within every person, of every age, title, tenure, and role. You should attend this program to consider an unconventional form of mentoring that can be delivered as reverse mentoring (an executive mentors a direct report and that direct report mentors the executive in return), and peer mentoring because it is not dependent on experience nor uses counseling or advising. Mentoring is essential for continuous growth, improvement and application of concept, skills, expectations, and tools adopted in any organization, in any setting, personal and professional. You should attend this program, so you see a clear alternative path to using autocratic, bribing, shaming or enabling tactics to inspire high performance.
