Mentoring and medicine are the two oldest helping professions in the world.

Today, in the spirit of the ancient mentoring tradition, companies are developing formal, in-house programs to permit managers and executives to mentor aspiring workers. These internal mentoring programs minimize reliance on external coaches and mentors.

Putting together an internal mentoring program takes time, careful planning, and thoughtful preparation. We have designed this course to give you the tools, direction, and insight which you need to implement a successful mentoring structure.

Dr. Mike Armour, who conducts this training, has long helped organizations bring mentoring programs to maturity. Among these organizations have been family-owned enterprises, non-profits, closely-held private corporations, and even a Fortune 100 company.

From that experience he builds this training around best practices in creating a robust mentoring tradition within an organization.

This training is a natural adjunct to our course on Coaching and Mentoring Skills for Executives, which (as its name implies) aims at developing personal mentoring skills. By contrast, this training centers on the actual design and management of a mentoring program. For organizations wanting to build an effective mentoring effort, we recommend a combination package which includes both courses.
