Making an impact in real life

MENTOR – The National Mentoring Partnership is working with mentoring in the US. And their mission is to fuel the quantity and quality of mentoring relationships for America’s young people and to close the mentoring gap. Pretty big statement and mission right?

They do so by bringing a mentor to young people.

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

Starting a new program

Unfortunately we had to say no to three applications because of few mentors. But we are starting today with mentee training, giving them some tools in personal development. And of course we need to take some time explaining how they can best «use» their mentor. All that we are doing while the university arrange their career day, this is my first time at the career day so it’s exciting.

We will also have some training of the mentors, but they all have been mentors earlier, so its not that much needed. They had their training last year.

And so in the evening the mentee and mentors will meet for the first time, always fun to look at them sitting in the same room. And especially before i tell who is together, they are looking at each other and thinking who they will have.

Ok this is going to be a long day, now waiting for the plane,

New year, new opportunities and applications

Today I sit and read all the applications to this years mentoring program at the university in Stavanger, and they all impress me for their motivation. Not only for joining this program, but overall both education and their work experience. A lot of them are raised in one country, education in two different countries and even some of them on their second masted education. I really looking forward to meet them in a couple of hours and to interview them. Stavanger here I come…
