People who mentor also benefit; studies have shown they often earn more money and promotions than nonmentors. But there are some important guidelines to consider before you start this mutually beneficial relationship. In the course, professor Ellen Ensher, author of Power Mentoring, explains how to get to know your protégé, shares the dos and don'ts for appropriate self-disclosure, and helps you develop a structure and agenda for each mentoring meeting.

Join speaker and author Emilie Aries as she answers your biggest questions around mentorship, so you can excel as a mentee or mentor. Explore the roles, expectations, and ways you can nurture and add value to the relationship, from establishing mutual goals to keeping in regular contact.

In this course, Dr. Ruth Gotian explores what it means to truly become a mentor who inspires others. Ruth leverages her many years as a tenured executive and professional coach to highlight the important role that mentors can play in success.
