Mentoring, does it work? Is the security sector good at it?

Security Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin Gill

On the face of it mentoring has much to commend it; it involves having the support from more experienced professionals/leaders to identify and then guide, and to opening hearts and minds around self-leadership, self-learning and self-development. But is this the reality? Do people really benefit? Are mentors really motivated to help others or are they self-serving? Does mentoring really make a difference to young people’s lives or is it overstated? What does a good mentor look like and how do you measure success? If it is effective why is it not more common? What can and should a dissatisfied mentee do? What factors make mentoring effective and which ones contribute to failures?
This webinar will discuss:
- What are the key characteristics of good mentoring?
- How effective is mentoring in the security sector?
- How can the best elements of effective mentoring be embraced?
Panellists:
Yolanda Hamblen - Head of Security Operations, Virgin Media O2
Claire Humble - Director, Nuology
John Sephton - Key Account Director, Bidvest Noonan
