Mentors in under-resourced departments and institutions wear a lot of hats. Being a coach, supervisor, and colleague can be a few. It is difficult to see where the line of one role ends and the other begins.
Registrants can work through interactive exercises that align their intentions of becoming a mentor or mentee with the concrete needs of being in a working relationship of this kind. Gain understanding in the key roles and responsibilities associated with a mentoring relationship and use small groups to gain self-awareness of their desire to be a mentor or a mentee and how to set realistic expectations when entering into the relationship that promotes sustainability for those involved.
Mentorship is an integral part of career growth, development, and retention. This workshop is part of FAIC’s Inclusive Mentorship series which is organized by AIC's Education and Training Committee, and aims to create foundational opportunities to develop and inspire inclusive mentors and culture change. Culture change is a critical undertaking for organizations seeking to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
This self-study resource is for conservation professionals who want to better understand what they should expect from a mentor/mentee relationship. View the material on your own time. The Mentorship Journal and supporting slides are provided. Please note that the video component may take up to a full minute to load.
