Finding a mentor or mentee (or making the match as an administrator) is only one part of the equation when it comes to mentoring success.

Knowing how to engage in productive mentoring conversations plays a critical—but often overlooked—role in helping people achieve their goals when mentoring.

Join Randy  & Chris to explore a developmental dialogue model that can be used as the basis for mentoring conversations and can be replicated on both a large and small scale.
