Mentoring Circles

In January 2021, the inaugural cohort of 125 Mentoring Circle participants completed a six-month program designed to provide guidance and development in the following mentor categories:

• Advisor
• Motivator
• Skill Builder
• Sponsor

Session topics included such titles as Self-Awareness, Branding, and Purpose in Your Profession. In the final Mentoring Circle survey, 97% of participants ranked the entire mentoring program positively (excellent, very good, or good). Participants also noted that they would recommend the program to others. They attributed participation in the program to gaining confidence, understanding the importance of feedback, and relationship building, skills they have used in their current roles.

“There are a lot of the topics that you know or think you should explore/consider. Having this program affirmed a lot of those thoughts for me. It encouraged me to continue on my path, provided beneficial additional insights, and helped with my confidence.”

“Connections made with others in the group and panel were exceptional. I now have excellent resources to go back to in my notebook to continue building my brand, and I have become a more effective delegator.”
