Self Managed Mentoring Programs – 2 Part Series
Far too many employees miss out on the value of mentoring because either they do not get chosen to be a part of a formal program or informal relationship. What if you could learn how to find the right mentoring partner and set up that partnership for success? With these two webinars you will gain the fundamental tools for starting and sustaining a successful mentoring partnership on your own. It is truly empowering to learn how to set up a learning partnership for yourself without the help of a program or a nominating system. Once you learn, you have the knowledge and skills for life, either as a mentee, mentor or coach.
Part 1 – Mentoring or Coaching: Which is Right for Me?
Many people wonder about the difference between mentoring and coaching. Sometimes the terms are used as if they are synonymous. Most of us need one or the other at different times in our careers. Learn what the differences are between these two forms of development and what you can gain from each of them.Part 2- Do-It-Yourself Mentoring
You don’t need anyone’s permission to be a mentor or mentee. You can start a mentoring partnership on your own. All you need is know-how and a sound action plan.The fundamentals of mentoring, action steps and numerous resources are laid out in the publications, Mentorship: A Pathway to Career Success and The Mentoring Bridge: A Guide to Informal Mentoring Partnerships.
Readers are provided with simple and effective mentoring principles and tools which enable them to break out of their limitations. They feel empowered to identify, select a mentoring partner and start a successful mentoring dialogue.
The material in these publications is suitable for mentees, mentors and program coordinators.

De-Constructing the Glass Ceiling: A Strategic Approach
This two-part webinar series will offer a different approach to our understanding of the Glass Ceiling. With a better understanding of how it operates within organizations we can develop more effective strategies to minimize its negative impact. The Glass Ceiling is not a thing or a place but a system which holds different groups behind and results in under-representation of women, people of color and persons of differing national origins. Far too many efforts to achieve fair and equitable representation have little or no success because the tactics employed are not comprehensive and do little to nothing to change the system.In this webinar series we will address the following issues:
Part 1 -
• How to demonstrate the existence of a Glass Ceiling
• Understanding the system and how it works
• Performing a Glass Ceiling Assessment
Part 2 -
• Using tactics that make a difference
• Where to start and getting started
• Measuring the impact of your efforts
• Helping individuals to make a differenceTo Register send an email to DRRBoags@aol.com
