An event hosted by Professionelle
Mentoring is a powerful tool for our careers as professional women, so Karyn and the Professionelle Chapter team are keen to explore this topic with you!
With the generous support of PricewaterhouseCoopers we will be back at the Russley Golf Club - where there is plenty of parking.
Members: remember to log in to access the special member price for this networking seminar. And if you're not a member, join - it's free!
Professionelle offers discounts for group bookings of 4-8 people: $40 per person. Please contact Lynda for details on how to pay.
Of all the strategies put forward to address the low percentage of women on Boards and senior management, mentoring is probably the lowest hanging fruit. At Professionelle we love to talk about it because it's one that we, as professional women, can control for ourselves.
We'll be discussing:
As always at Professionelle networking seminars, the emphasis is on giving you the opportunity for meaningful connections with like-minded peers around your table. It's a chance to connect through sharing your own experiences and ideas.
Don't forget to bring your business cards so you can follow up with the potential mentors and mentees you meet on the day!
Please note: this event has been completed.
“Great question, Jennifer.My mtenor was a man who was the Director of HR for McDonald's when I was there. He was not my boss as much as he was a friend and confidante, someone I wanted to learn from and fill in the blanks in my knowledge and learning. He was the type of person I wanted to be like' in areas I had no real exposure. He added work and real life experiences that added value to my knowledge, life and was a person I really respected.We could all use a mtenor. If you are 21 or 61 , someone has a perspective you may not have considered and information that could prove invaluable.There is a Buddhist saying that states You cannot possibly have all the answers. No one has asked you all the questions yet. CheersRick”
