PWN Copenhagen: Mentoring Kick-Off

Copenhagen Mentoring Program – Spring 2017

What is mentoring? What is expected of a mentor? What happens in a mentoring relationship? How should one organize a mentoring relationship? What topics are "allowed”? A mentoring partnership can be rewarding to both people, personally and professionally. It's an opportunity to develop communication skills, expand your viewpoints, and consider new ways of approaching situations. More importantly, both partners can advance their careers in the process.

This event is the kick-off for PWN Copenhagen's official Spring 2017 mentoring program. We invite all our mentors and mentees registered in the program to attend, particularly those who are new to the program, and extend the invite to all who might be interested in learning more about mentoring. This event is open to anyone and everyone who was interested in learning more about mentoring (whether or not you are part of the PWN Mentoring Program. Join us for this informative and interactive workshop!

The discussion will be led by Maarit Pokkinen, a certified coach, experienced mentor and previous PWN mentoring coordinator, and Andrea Mestrov, PWN Copenhagen VP Mentoring

The evening will begin with networking (18:00-18:30), followed by the presentation & workshop.
