“Mentor and Be Mentored – A Powerful Career Management Strategy”
with Rita B. Allen
Sponsored by Intel
Having and being a mentor are two of the major milestones during one’s career and represent a critical part of managing a successful and sustaining career. Mentors and advisors can play a powerful role in retaining talent in organizations as well as keeping one engaged to realize potential. Seeking out potential mentors and trusted advisors throughout the different phases of one’s careers is critical. Creating a plan with specific goals and objectives will empower one to develop meaningful mentor relationships in addition to welcoming opportunities to mentor others. It is important to be our own advocate and initiate these relationships rather than waiting to be mentored. In order to do so, first we must understand our differentiators. Identifying, creating and articulating one's “personal brand" empowers us to 'own our career', and seize opportunities we aspire to achieve. Personal branding and the ability to market ourselves is an essential foundation. Learn how to create a framework to embrace and develop this core competency.
