Workshop on "Effective mentoring practices"
Description:
Mentoring can be a powerful tool to develop one’s career, change direction if desired or necessary, and support work-life balance. An effective mentoring relationship facilitates the mentee’s development from both a personal and professional perspective. But what are the qualities of a good mentor? What are some effective mentoring practices that a mentor can adopt to best support the mentee? In the context of the 2024 ESOT Mentorship Programme, Ellen Boeren, Professor of Education at the University of Glasgow, will discuss effective mentoring practices for this year's mentors and for anyone who is interested in acquiring or refining mentoring skills.
