If you’re seeking a powerful way to grow and develop your talent, consider how many of today’s leaders have had the benefit of a mentor’s wisdom and experience to help them grow into their current roles. Mentoring is more than just a cost-effective alternative to training – it promotes knowledge sharing, leadership development and skill development. How might you benefit from a mentoring relationship?Join We Inspire Support Empower Inc. on Dec. 3, 2013, for an opportunity to attend the WISE Inc. Mentoring Program “Meet and Greet” break out session from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. This session will provide more information about the 2014 mentoring program, provide the opportunity to select an area of focus, and facilitate networking in a structured mixer for mentees and mentors.

Mentor/Mentee participants will have an opportunity to meet with one another to discuss topics such as leadership skills development, work- life balance, career planning, self-confidence and conflict resolution to facilitate pairing relationships.
