HBA OLD EUROPE PRESENTS

2016 HBA Europe Mentoring Program

Event description
This international mentoring program pairs one mentor with one mentee who work together over the course of nine months to help achieve mentee goals. The program uses a cross-company and cross-hierarchy approach with recent participants from Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States and is inclusive of female and male mentors. Mentoring pairs meet at least once a month; meetings are usually virtual since mentoring tandems may come from different countries.

Program structure
•   1:1 - One mentor is matched with one mentee
•   Mentoring pairs meet at least once a month for nine months
     Depending on your preference and the availability of a matching mentoring partner, mentoring can either take
     place virtually (since your mentor/mentee may be in another country) or in person.
•   Mentees set a goal at the beginning of the program; mentors help mentees make progress toward achieving their
       goal

Program activities
•    September 12 - Mentoring program kickoff webinar - mandatory for all mentors and mentees
•    September 19 - Mentor training - in-person meeting for mentors in Darmstadt (Rhein-Main area), Germany
•    September 21 - Come2Gether for mentors and mentees - in-person meeting for mentors and mentees in

•    October 2016 to June 2017 - Mentoring tandems meet on their own once a month, usually virtually

Mentee or mentor?
Mentees are emerging leaders. They have a strong sense of their development needs and can identify one or more areas in which they need mentoring support. Mentees must have the time to prepare for meetings, fully participate and be willing to test and apply what they’ve learned to achieve their mentoring goals.

Mentors are seasoned executives with significant experience in the healthcare industry or related services. They have a keen sense of their own strengths coupled with the ability and commitment needed to guide their mentees. Mentors are willing to share of themselves - relaying stories and anecdotes from their careers, recounting successes and failures, offering ideas and approaches and identifying tools and connections. Most mentors have experience in a director-level or higher position and/or have developed both individuals and teams.

Mentee course fee:
$150

Mentor course fee:
$0 - There is no charge for mentors, who volunteer their time and expertise to the program and their mentee.
