THE BENEFITS OF BEING A MENTOR
Participating in the program as a mentor has wide- reaching benefits for mentors and for their organiza- tions.
The program can help you develop or enhance your
“mentoring” skills and are of great value to your own leadership development. This includes active listening, creative problem solving, giving and receiving feedback, collaborative coaching, new perspectives, rewarding discussions and contributing to another alumni’s suc- cess and development.
THE BENEFITS OF BEING A MENTEE
Taking part in the program as a mentee is a unique chance to benefit from the experience embodied in SSE’s extensive network in London. You will be able to discuss your career choices and get some invaluable advice. The mentee is responsible for moving the mentoring relationship forward.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF SSE LONDON ALUMNI MENTOR PROGRAM
• Supports the success of the alumni and thus the brand and reputation of SSE
• Strenghtens the link between SSE and the alumni building a strong community
• An important Component of Career Services offerings
• Provides a way for alumni to support the goals of SSE
The time commitment for mentoring to an SSE alumni is expected to be ten hours during the year.
The meetings can take place at your office or at the location of your choice. In addition, there will be a kick-off event at the start of the program, where you will receive useful advice on how to get the most out of the mentoring experience and have an opportunity to meet other mentors and mentees.
There are no “required hours”- as with all important relationships, it is the quality rather than the quantity, that makes a difference. The responsibility for buil- ding and maintaining a successful relationship rests with both mentor and mentee.
