We will
launch a mentoring programme in 2015 to bring together senior members who can
offer mentoring support with others in the early stages of their career. This
programme is available to those who wish to take advantage of this service.
If you
feel curious about this initiative come to our launch event on Tuesday 20
January at 6.30pm when all will be explained for both the mentor and mentee. We
will also provide insight to networking opportunities and how to make the most
of them and we all know that this can be essential for career development.
Benefits for mentors: -
• strengthen your coaching and leadership
skills by working with individuals from different backgrounds and with
different personality types
• help develop future talent giving a new
member increased knowledge, skills and experience in attaining their career
goals
• get new insight into your job -
questions from mentees can help to take a critical look at how things are done
and what areas have room for improvement
• a chance to develop a new skill for your
CV.
Benefits for mentees: -
• one to one support from an experienced
professional
• an opportunity to network and build
contacts within an industry
• gain an insight into your chosen
industry or career
• help in recognising your own abilities
and limitations in relation to your career ideas and in highlighting areas for
development
• get practical advice on job search
techniques and skills.
If you are
unable to attend this event, but you are still interested in being part of the
mentoring programme, please register your interest by emailing area.four@cimaglobal.com
This event
will also help you look at your networking skills. When you see the word
networking, what do you think of? I bet you think of having to 'go out' to
'meet strangers' at a 'formal event'. There is this little voice in our heads,
who annoyingly keeps telling us that we need to put ourselves through this
exquisite form of professional torture because we know we should be regularly
networking to improve our business and career prospects.
If we
could show you another, more successful route by using joined up networking to
achieve the career and business success you really deserve, would you be
interested?
At this
event, Heather Townsend, the award-winning and best-selling author of 'The
financial times guide to business networking' will share her methods and
secrets which have, in the last year helped her clients generate an additional
£1million of fees. Heather will be relaying stories and real life examples of
how CIMA members have been using her techniques to make successful career moves
and build their own healthy practice.
She will
be showing us: -
How to use
networking to guarantee career and business success, without it feeling like a
form of professional torture.
How to
effectively network when you really don't have the time to network.
How to make
your networking fitter.
Why
today's savvy networkers know that it is not about your ability to 'work a
room'.
Why one
cup of coffee is never enough.
How to
meet your George Clooney.
Why you
now don't need to 'go out' to network.
This very
popular event provides practical guidance to help you network efficiently so
that you can maximise your productive time, boost your career and deliver
exceptional service and results.
