Description
We love the idea of mentoring — but most of us are still doing it in ways that protect comfort, reinforce power, and quietly exclude. In this high-impact 60-minute Learning Lab, we’ll confront the myths we’ve been taught about what mentoring is supposed to be — and explore what it must become to truly serve equity, belonging, and leadership in today’s world.
This session is not about mentoring-as-usual. It’s about rethinking mentoring as a disruptive, relational, and identity-conscious practice — one that transforms not just individuals, but organizational culture.
Expect real talk, real reflection, and a reimagining of mentoring that invites courage, accountability, and transformation — for both mentors and mentees.
