Starting a new mentoring program isn’t easy.
That’s because “mentoring” is thought of as the wise old sage on the hill offering advice to the young kid.
That needs to change.
It CAN be collaboration and solving EACH OTHER’S problems.
All while creating marketing results for your organization.
Turn Mentoring Into Collaboration And Marketing
Too often mentoring is done behind closed doors and is viewed as “just giving back”.
As a company or professional organization that means genius and marketing opportunities are left on the table.
To get started you need to ask yourself these things:
WHY?
WHY do you want to start a mentoring program?
WHY will it be important to your organization AND your audiences?
WHAT?
WHAT will you need your AUDIENCES to get from it?
WHAT will YOU need to get from it to make it financially viable?
HOW?
HOW will you give your AUDIENCES what they need?
HOW will YOU get a return on your investment?
If you’re not growing you’re withering, the same is true for your audiences.
Everyone wants the same thing: To be GROWING.
We can help EVERYONE grow and get RESULTS through your mentoring program.
Mentoring Can Be Confusing
Many Mentoring Programs Assign A Mentor & Hope For The Best Paring people up and telling them to “Go have coffee and ‘do’ mentoring” is the norm.
They’re left without strategies for what to talk about, how to follow up and how to get results. It’s assumed both people know what to do. That’s a LOT of pressure.
If your mentoring program is part of a bigger strategy then you need a strong strategy for it.
We can provide that for you and elimate any confusion.
Group Collaboration Works Better Than Matchmaking
Making mentor-mentee matches is the most time consuming part of 1-on-1 mentoring programs. Creating cohorts with access to MULTIPLE mentors changes the game.
Getting MULTIPLE viewpoints on ideas from MULTIPLE life experiences is better than one.
ONE80 programs can take the time consumed and guesswork off of your staff’s plate and gets rid of matchmaking.
We’ll create the collaboration, training and results. You and the people in your program get the results.
