Are you keen to develop your skills as a mentor or mentee?

Once the excitement of a new mentoring match settles, the opportunity for deeper, more purposeful work emerges. Progress and Purpose in Your Mentoring Partnership invites mentors and mentees to pause, reflect, and refocus on what makes their partnership meaningful. Through this interactive online seminar, participants will explore strategies to strengthen connection, clarify purpose, and move forward with renewed intention, ensuring their mentoring relationship continues to grow and deliver lasting impact.

In this practical, interactive session, you will explore:

• Ways to build trust, momentum, and a stronger connection
• Tools for clarifying goals, expectations, and purpose (mentor + mentee)
• How to keep conversations constructive, focused, and forward-looking

Who should attend:

• Environmental professionals in informal or formal mentoring partnerships
• Participants in EIANZ mentoring programs (mentors and mentees)
• Anyone wanting to strengthen their mentoring approach and get more value from the relationship
