Description 

Whilst some organisations have in-house mentoring programmes, there are many benefits to finding external mentors for your people - "out of the box" thinking, different types of skills, more objectivity, potentially more openness with someone outside the organisation - to name a few.

But how do you go about identifying the right people both as mentors and as mentees? What is it that you are trying to achieve for the individual and the organisation?  How do you run a mentoring programme?

As networking experts we at Smarter Networking are perfectly placed to support you in developing an external mentoring programme, not only through our own extensive network of contacts but, if appropriate, by enhancing your own networking abilities.
