One of the most critical components of a successful corporate mentoring program is the MPM: the mentoring program manager.
What is a mentoring program manager (MPM)?
The MPM is a person who has been trained to implement and manage a corporate mentoring program. The MPM's tasks can include matching mentors and mentorees, mediating conflict between mentoring pairs, and monitoring the program's results (e.g. are objectives being met?)
Why would mentoring program managers need this webinar?
Not all mentoring program managers have received specialized training. And even for those who have, a refresher course is always helpful. And some people out there might be thinking about becoming an MPM and are curious about what the job entails.
And that's the goal of this webinar. To provide mentoring program managers -- those who are currently MPMs, those who are thinking about taking on the task, and those who are charged with selecting the "right" MPM for their program -- with strategies for navigating some of the most common challenges.
What will I learn in this webinar?
Management Mentors founder and president, Rene Petrin, will lead this webinar, and he'll base the discussion on his 20+ years in the mentoring field. Specifically, he'll cover these essential topics around mentoring program managers:
- Time management -- tips on managing a program while staying sane enough so you can still perform your full-time job.
- How to effectively manage pairs -- tips on mediating conflict and how to recognize potential conflict before it happens
- How online mentoring software can assist you in managing your program
- How to understand your "job description" -- what your job is...and what it isn't.
- You tell us -- we'll take your specific questions at the end of the webinar.
