Mentoring matters
It was a privilege to bring so many of our members together last week (14 November) to discuss mentoring and our exclusive mentoring platform.
Joined by the Chartered Institute’s head of academic services Mikaela Morgans and PLD Mentoring’s Chris Murray, we explained how members can maximise the benefits of this platform and the five key career stages, as well as busting common myths about the best time in your career to mentor others or receive mentoring yourself.
Mentoring plays a vital role in supporting our members' growth and career development.
Since the event, we’ve had numerous members sign up to become mentors and mentees, and we’re thrilled to see this platform grow. Through peer-to-peer support, we’re empowering our members to achieve their full potential.
