Featured Speaking Topics
Bridging Differences to Better Mentoring
Most organizations today understand the benefits of having more diverse and inclusive work environments. Yet, there is little movement, and often, very little individual accountability. In this interactive, entertaining and practical keynote, learn how mentoring can help drive inclusion, why talking about difference in your mentoring relationships is essential, and how to create transformative mentoring relationships that have an impact for mentors, mentees, their teams and their organizations. Audiences will walk away with new insights and tips they can apply to improve their mentoring relationships right away.
Creating a Mentoring Culture
Is your organization beginning its mentoring journey? Are you looking to create a culture that supports, sustains and encourages formal and informal mentoring initiatives? In this keynote, participants will learn what it means to create a culture of mentoring, why it is important, and what practical steps leaders can do to align mentoring with other strategic initiatives. Attendees will also discover what it takes to authentically support and champion mentoring. This keynote will be followed by a 15 minute question and answer session.

“It was a pleasure working with Lisa to engage our employees during a companywide lunch and learn event on mentoring. Lisa is a dynamic speaker and her talking points on Creating a Mentoring Culture really spoke to many of our employees, both mentees and mentors who work to develop our employees both personally and professionally. Lisa provided us with great resources for laying the foundation for our new pilot mentoring program we kicked off this year. Our mentees really felt empowered to work smarter on their goals in collaboration with their mentor.

“I could not be happier with the partnership I had with the Center for Mentorship Excellence! We were able to craft a custom program to help build internal mobility for our underrepresented groups. The impact of our mentorship program could be felt throughout the organization. And, Lisa is a master speaker and presenter. We were able to launch a speaker series that built buy-in and awareness across the organization. Thank you, Center for Mentorship Excellence, for your leadership and partnership.”
