​Mentoring Workshops - Thursday 1st or Wednesday 7th October

We invite you to join us at one of these mentoring workshops for members of our own Company, the Information Technologists and other Livery Companies. Each will offer insight to the ways that our fellow livery members from other companies work together and with their clients and mentees. We know that the value of our mentoring workshops builds on individuals' experiences as much as on our own, coupled to the techniques that we will explain and practice.

The overarching aim is to add to members’ professional skill sets by harnessing their experience to some new tools and thinking. This will enable members to take an active role in their Companies’ mentoring initiatives by offering enhanced services to the leaders of small and medium size not-for-profit organisations and providing them with another dimension to the way they conduct their lives. The workshops will offer tools, tips and templates to new mentors and to current practitioners who wish to finesse their mentoring approach – an activity often undertaken without the realisation that is what it is. It will also help to re-orient those who, formerly, have advocated and advised the art of listening.

You can expect:

• Diverse Perspectives from collaboration with members of other livery companies, bringing together a wealth of knowledge and varied approaches that promise an enriching experience. We aim to have equal numbers from our own and other livery companies.
• Invaluable Skills Development through the insights from colleagues who have practised in different sectors.
• To test your new learning through supportive, interactive role-playing making that learning both effective and enjoyable, especially if you are bringing up teenagers.

The workshop will be facilitated by David Glassman and Jeff Herman from the Management Consultants Mentoring Team along with Gordon Walker from the Information Technologists. Preparatory materials will be distributed in advance to those who have registered.

 The first workshop on Thursday 1st October will be held at Plaisterers' Hall and can be booked in the usual way by clicking on the "Register Now" button. Members and registered Account Holders can click on this Participant Listing link to see who has booked.

The second workshop on Wednesday 7th October will be held at Information Technologists' Hall and can be booked via Eventbrite here.

Both workshops will run from 9.30 to 16.00 and incur a charge of £25 to cover a buffet lunch and refreshments.
