* EMCI provides the profiling, training, facilitation, individual coaching, and support to initiate and sustain a custom-tailored mentoring program specifically designed for an organization’s unique needs and goals.
EMCI has seen two very important and initially unexpected side effects of the EMCI Mentoring Program:
1. New mentors are suddenly looked upon as very ‘special people’ because they are taking their valuable time to become mentors and share their knowledge regarding organizational history, as well as their skills, talents, abilities and contacts with a chosen protégée. Both the mentor’s peers and those outside their realm of influence, are impressed with their new leadership role as a mentor.
2. The protégées also have a new level of respect and influence with their direct reports, their peers and their superiors because everyone assumes that they must be someone of importance if they are being mentored. Their career path is accelerated and the organization now has access to their set of skills much faster than those without mentors.
EMCI requires protégées to become mentors themselves after eight to twelve months as a protégée. As a newly-minted mentor, they are asked to choose a protégée to work with, using their newfound skills to further their new protégée’s career. This self-perpetuating cycle of mentors creating mentors is an ideal way for an organization to reap the benefits of the initial EMCI Mentoring Program many times over.
EMCI’s Mentoring Program is twelve to twenty-four months in length and EMCI’s talented staff of coaches and trainers are highly capable of grooming, teaching and guiding mentors. At the conclusion of the program, an organization no longer needs EMCI’s formal services for their mentoring program to continue and thrive. EMCI’s Mentoring Program becomes a self-sustaining component of an organization’s culture.
