On my way to the EMCC conference

Due to strike in Brüssels I was stranded in Frankfurt and needed to stay overnight in Frankfurt. Not my preference to stay at a airport hotel with no food or peanuts.

But now on the airport and on my way to Prague. I am really looking forward to this conference because I am going to make a conference podcast and interview some of the speakers.

And David Clutterbuck THE mentoring and coaching go-to-guy in the world, is one of the interviews.

Stay tuned and look up my podcast “THE TALK – BY MENTORGURU”

This time it will be some interviews in English…

Powerful and cost-effective

Mentoring is arguably one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways of helping people expand and achieve their aspirations. There is also strong evidence that it is a very effective means to retaining talent in organisations, and to create and sustain desired corporate culture. It also offers one of the highest returns on investment in supporting entrepreneurs, addressing societal disaffection amongst the young, and building bridges between cultures and communities.

The conference is open to members and non-members, so please let your colleagues and networks know about this event.

26. of October is the date and Barcelona in Spain is the place

My mentoring hero

I met my big, big inspiration: David Clutterbuck at the conference. I was not surprised since he was one of the founders, but I was nervous…

Suddenly in one of the sessions he stands before me and someone introduced me to him. I told him that I was a huge fan and that he is my mentoring guru. And he asked for my business card, and I said I have to tell you a story before you get my business card…
«I was looking for a business name or something to call my blog about mentoring, and to my big surprise MENTOR GURU was not taken… I then said that I was surprised that he hasn’t taken the name, but as a marketing man I found that this could be good for branding…»

I was so embarrassed but he just laughed, oh my…

EMCC international accreditation

Dr. Julia Haddock-Millar talked about the accreditation for programs – EQA and for mentors – EIA.

EIA – The European Individual Accreditation is an internationally recognized accreditation that demonstrates that an individual practicing as a professional mentor/coach has the appropriate level of knowledge and the ability to apply it effectively in their practice.

EQA – The European Quality Award is an internationally recognized accreditation for providers of mentoring/coaching training to make their qualifications/training widely and immediately recognizable. This is done through linking them to professional standards. It is an integral and essential step on the path to establishing the professional credibility and status of mentoring/coaching.

This will be important for me if I want to work international. Read more here about the: https://www.emccouncil.org/accreditation/
