Summary

Learn how to become a mentor who provides guidance, know-how, and skills development to others in your professional network.

Learning from a mentor is an invaluable professional experience. Your mentor guides you, shares perspective, and serves as an important member of your network. But how do you become the type of mentor who can do all of these things? A mentor who’s always there for others often seems like an impossible ideal. In this course, Dr. Ruth Gotian explores what it means to truly become a mentor who inspires others. Ruth leverages her many years as a tenured executive and professional coach to highlight the important role that mentors can play in success. Learn about the specific roles of a mentor and the steps you can take to be effective in those roles. Get tips on how to give your mentor exactly what they need—long before they even need it. Discover the rewards of high-level sponsorship and what a good sponsor looks like in practice. Upon completing this course, you'll have the skills you need to get ready and start mentoring others for success in their professional lives. This course was created by Madecraft. We are pleased to host this training in our library.
