What is Mentoring?
Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored, but they have a certain area of expertise which will help and support the mentee.
How will it work?
Derek Bruce Associates will match you to a mentor. As a mentee, you will need to define a desired outcome for the mentoring. You will then contact your mentor. During this initial contact, you will provides your mentor an overview of your desired outcome of mentoring, which is fundamental in ensuring you have the right mentor. Once you are fully connected, you and your mentor will also agree when and how your first meeting will take place. While each mentor/mentee relationship is unique, we are starting with a framework the mentee and mentor connecting for one to two hours per month for three to six months maximum. And Derek Bruce Associates will check-in with the mentors during each mentoring relationship. The aim is at the end of the mentoring relationship, your desired outcome has moved forward.
