Bridges Mentoring Programme
The Bridges Mentoring Programme will nurture and grow your talent pipeline, close the gap between junior and senior leadership and build confident and collaborative team members.
The six-month Bridges Mentoring Programme brings together three vital elements
Mentoring Circles
Three mentors will support and develop up to six mentees each on their career journey. In the mentoring circles, experience and knowledge flow freely, enabling talent to flourish, grow and enhance potential for career goal achievement.
Workshops
In addition to the mentoring circles, mentees attend four interactive developmental workshops to increase their impact, influencing, resilience and communication skills.
Coaching calls
To strengthen individual learning, every mentee will have two one-to-one coaching calls with a personal development expert.
