Mentoring the Next Generation
Speakers: Andy Churgin & Carle Churgin
As Boomers head for retirement, employers are about to see years of experience and knowledge walk out the door. In the government sector alone, 60% of the workforce is eligible for retirement in the next five years. Who is going to be left to take the organizational reins and how will they know where to start?
The key is in mentorship. Engaging key contributors of any organization or agency to help guide the next generations is critical at this juncture. As mentors they will help grow new leaders by sharing their experience, helping their mentees create a vision and set goals, and providing an understanding of how to navigate the system. In turn, they have the opportunity to learn new things about themselves as well as new approaches.
Andy and Carle Churgin of Chain Reaction Partners have taught mentoring to individuals throughout the Federal Government, helped define mentoring programs and worked with hundreds of individuals at UCAR at all levels, capacities and departments. In this session, we will introduce types of mentoring, what it takes to be a good mentor, discuss mentoring best practices, employ a mentor self-assessment and will share key strategies for successful mentoring relationships.
