By Ellie Eckhoff, Vice President, ClearRock
Part of my role at ClearRock is strategic business development. Over the years I have had mentors who have helped me develop the skills to do my job effectively. As the Mentoring Marketing Chair for The Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA), I have been able to pay it forward by helping to mentor other business women.
In the 10 years HBA has offered mentoring, over 800 women have worked together to discover how opportunities and challenges in their careers today encourage them to set career goals for tomorrow and take real steps to achieve their goals.
In 2015 we kicked off a program titled, "Leaders as Multipliers." The groups received the book Multipliers-How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz Wiseman.
Throughout the eight-month program, the Mentor Circles discovered just how powerful mentoring is as a multiplier of talent. Through peer coaching and mentoring, over 100 women benefited from the advice and experiences of their peers.
The HBA developed a Competency Framework that lines up well with the disciplines of Multipliers. For example, one characteristic of the multiplier leader is being a Challenger; someone who makes people stretch ... HBA calls this "facilitating change." One of the best things mentoring can do is to lay down a challenge and generate a belief in what is possible.

The workplace is evolving faster than ever before. Employers should be aware of – and manage – five overarching trends in order to lead and grow in the future, regardless of geography or industry. Employees’ demand for greater choice and flexibility; access to real-time learning; increased autonomy; a sense of stability; and the ability to work on personally meaningful projects are driving global workplace transformation. These findings are part of the ADP Research Institute’s 2016 Evolution of Work study, a global look at workplace trends across 2,000 individuals in 13 countries.
For Dr. Yildirmaz's summary of the study's findings, view the full article at ADP@Work.

With more and more companies using LinkedIn, it is important that job seekers not only keep their profile up-to-date, but also that they respond to all messages that come through LinkedIn. Even if the message is about a job they aren’t interested in, it is always worth networking with the sender to learn more about the company, the exact role itself, and to keep in touch for possible future roles at that company or another company that that sender may work with. The HR community in the greater Boston area is small one and it’s important to keep doors open.
