Is This the Right Course for Me?
This course is ideal for:
​
Business Owners: Maybe you're looking to build staff experience and company culture. Or, maybe you want to offer your staff opportunities for growth that will help retain your high-performers and enhance your succession planning. A mentoring program is an opportunity to elevate staff performance and show your staff that you care about their professional development.
​
Human Resources / People Development Executives: The list of benefits to businesses and organizations is endless. A mentoring program can develop new managers, retain high performers, support a learning culture, improve employee engagement, create opportunities for reverse mentoring, and so much more.
​
Higher Education Leaders (Dean, Associate Dean, Assistant Dean): Mentoring programs are vital to student success. Mentoring programs empower students to get jobs and find success in their careers. At the college and university level, mentoring programs provide the real-world connection that so many students need before they start their careers.
​
Non-Profit Executive Directors: A non-profit organization needs their staff and their volunteers to be completely engaged in the work they are doing. A mentoring program helps keep staff engaged, feel valued, and enables the director to build strong, supporting leaders and volunteer teams.
​
Mentor Program Managers: You're currently managing a mentoring program, but you're having trouble maintaining mentor involvement. Or, perhaps mentors are involved but you would like more mentee participation. Perhaps mentees are participating, but they're struggling with relating to their mentors. The High-Impact Mentoring course is just what you need to super-charge your current program for sustainability and success.

Let's Get Started: Your Mentoring Program
As we get started, we’ll talk about how your mentoring program can be a powerful tool to retain key employees and grow tomorrow's leaders.
2:00 min.
How to Use this Course
This overview will teach you how to get around the course software and move through the lessons so you can spend your time with the course material rather than figuring out the technology.
19:00 min.
Step 1 - Define Your WHY
You need to know why you want a mentorship program and the benefits you expect to receive. Only when you understand these essentials can you build a well-executed program through thoughtful planning and a sustained commitment to guiding participants through the mentoring process. We'll talk about why mentoring matters and how it will positively change your organization.
14:00 min.
Step 2 - Find Your Program Champion
The success or failure of a formal mentoring program depends on one role: the program’s champion. We'll explain what the program champion does, what makes for a good champion, and how to pick the best person for the job.
13:00 min.
Step 3 - Set Goals and Metrics
Identifying the goals upfront will help align your mentoring program outcomes with your business objectives, illustrating to senior leaders why mentoring should be a priority. We'll help walk you through setting goals and metrics, ensuring that they are measurable, trackable, and objective.
31:00 min.
Step 4 - Design & Build Your Program
We'll dive into the nuts and bolts of building your program, including securing organizational support, figuring out the financial aspects, branding, identifying training materials, and more. We'll walk through everything you need to build your program because a well-thought-out plan will save you time and effort in the long run.
50:00 min.
Step 5 - Recruit & Connect
It’s all about the 3Ms: Mentors, Mentees, and Matching. Just because you build the program doesn’t mean people will come. You have to promote the program effectively. We'll help you create a plan to attract and retain participants.
38:00 min.
Step 6 - Nurture Your People & Your Program
Left to themselves, some mentors and mentees will flourish. But some may not. Your program must be set up to help nurture the connections being made. We'll walk you through why training is important and ways to reinforce training throughout the program.
16:00 min.
Step 7 - Measure to Improve
At some point, someone will ask you, "Is the mentoring program successful?" If you don’t monitor results, if you don't evaluate what's working and what's not, you won’t know if you’re succeeding or if you need to make changes. We'll give you measuring techniques and examples to help you evaluate and assess your program.
