Mentoring is a powerful relationship that benefits mentors and mentees in so many ways.

Whether you are an accomplished professional, or embarking on your first career, mentorship can have a huge impact in your life and career, and in the life and career of someone else. It can rekindle your purpose, introduce you to new ideas you never thought possible, challenge you with different perspectives and help you overcome obstacles.

This session will focus on how the power of mentorship advances one’s own leadership development in the areas of career and professional development, both as a mentor or as a mentee.

Join us to learn:


  • the benefits of mentorship for mentors and mentees, personally and professionally;

  • how to cultivate a and successfully navigate mentoring relationships;

  • the key elements of success in a mentoring relationship; and

  • the broader positive impact of mentorship on society and in enhancing the workplace.

Registration is now closed.
