Why get a mentor?

An Executive Business+Mentor is an external discussion partner outside of your normal network. A professional partnership with a mentor is for you who whose next step in the your career is to:

• Strengthen your leadership skills
• Get new challenges
• Enhance talent development
• Increase the ability to create results
• Work with a confidential discussion partner

The Match

It is important to us that we match you with the right mentor, so that you get to work with the person who will best support and challenge you. The first step in the matching process is to make a personality test which looks at your social and emotional competences, as well as individual feedback and assessment on your role as a leader and development opportunities.
You will be assigned an Executive Mentor Coach – a KMP+ consultant who will be your personal contact during the programme. Your Executive Mentor Coach will at a preliminary meeting introduce you to the concept of mentoring, and together you will agree upon the overall purpose and learning goals. This preliminary meeting and the personality test form the basis of the match. The Executive Mentor Coach will find your mentor and arrange the first meeting between you.

The layout of the programme

The Executive Business+Mentor programme runs over a 12 month period in which you and your mentor will have approximately 8 sessions. Together with your mentor you agree upon how the meetings should be carrier out.
Throughout the process there will be supervision from the Executive Business Coach in order to evaluate the relationship.
