Mentorship Matters - Toronto Chapter Mentorship Program
MPI Toronto launched its mentoring program last year and has successfully paired some mentors with proteges. With this ongoing success, we are looking to spread the word and encourage both mentors and proteges to come forward.
For those of you who have been lucky enough to either have been mentored or have been a mentor, you know the win-win benefits of this relationship! Those of you who have not had the experience, this is a proven way to take your leadership skills to the next level, and in the case of the mentor, to share your knowledge.
A few stats:
- 96% of executives say mentoring is an important development tool
- 75% of executives point to mentoring as playing a key role in their careers
- 44% of CEOs list mentoring programs as one of the three most effective strategies to enhance the advancement of women to senior management
- Managerial productivity increased by 88% when mentoring was involved, versus only a 24% increase with training alone
A mentor will benefit by having an opportunity to reflect on his or her skills and practices and be exposed to new ideas – there is great personal satisfaction in giving back to our community. A protege will be able to expand their leadership skills and management practices while discussing their goals and aspirations with a trusted advisor.
MPI Toronto Chapter members can be a mentor or a protege, as everyone has something to learn as well as share with others. Participation in the program requires a four-month commitment, so join today! Click below for an application form.
