Ever wondered how mentoring could enhance your career outcomes and/or your organisation's performance?  Then this event should not be missed.  Having had many years of mentoring experience, your CIPD colleagues and committee members, Wendi Cochrane and Jonathan Geard-Beney would love to share with you the enormous benefits, the possible pitfalls and some practical hints and tips.

Regardless of what stage you are at within your HR career, attendance at this event will help anyone who is either considering being mentored, becoming a mentor themselves or would like to have more awareness of designing a mentoring scheme.

Wendi and Jonathan will prove to us, through sharing first hand experiences, how mentoring will add value to both your career and your organisation.

Prior to the CPD session, the Student Awards will be presented to local CIPD students, recognising excellence in their studies and their wider contributions.

This event forms part of a series under the running title “Telling it like it is” offering members a range of topical subjects for both generalists and specialists.  You will be supporting your Continuing Professional Development because through working with the speakers, you understand: 

• How to use mentoring effectively within your organisation 
• The benefits of being a mentor or mentee
• The hidden pitfalls of mentoring

Our meetings allow networking to take place before and after the main presentation.  Members considering upgrading can usually seek advice from Paula Grayson after the event.
