MentorMe Launch Event – Speed Networking

Leadership Illawarra Program participants took part last night in the MentorMe launch with a Mentoring Speed Networking event. Participants had the opportunity to meet with seasoned local leaders who are willing to serve as mentors in the program.
 
An introductory presentation was given covering the following topics:

• the purpose of mentoring,
• the roles of mentors and mentees, and
• tips for developing goals. 

This was then followed by speed networking, where participants were given 90 seconds per mentor to meet and assess their suitability for a successful mentor/mentee relationship.
Mentees were then given the opportunity to indicate their preferred mentors.  
 
The highly successful MentorMe program was developed and run by JCI Illawarra. It is a structured one-on-one mentoring program which establishes links between younger and more experienced professionals in the Illawarrra.  MentorMe provides guidance regarding mentees career journey and fosters opportunities for individual growth.
The Leadership Illawarra Program is pleased to be partnering with Junior Chamber International (JCI) Illawarra to support leaders through the MentorMe program.
