Session

How can we ensure that our understanding and support of mentoring is optimal?

After 16 months of surveys, expert interviews, brainstorming session,s and reviewing papers, the EMCC Global Mentoring Review WorkGroup is proposing updates to our mentoring definition and competencies. Join us for an interactive session, complete with breakout rooms and virtual whiteboards, where together we will:

1. Explore the new proposed meaning and definition of mentoring, and to brainstorm ‘Is this new definition of Mentoring inclusive in terms of the spectrum of mentoring you provide?’
2. Share the draft mentoring-specific capability indicators (that once finalised will be included in the existing Coaching/Mentoring Competency Framework), and brainstorm ‘With the addition of these changes, is the EMCC now being optimally inclusive in embracing mentoring alongside coaching?’
