HBA EUROPE REGION PRESENTS

2018 - 2019 HBA Europe Mentoring Program

This international mentoring program pairs one mentor with one mentee who work together over the course of nine months to help achieve the mentee’s 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 pairs 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 (as your mentor/mentee may be in another country) or in-person (if the mentor and mentee are in close
       proximity and both agree to in-person meetings)
    • Mentees set a goal at the beginning of the program; mentors help mentees make progress toward achieving their goal
    • This year we will also be matching entrepreneurial mentors with aspiring mentees. This will include mentors who
       have set up their own business or are entrepreneurial within their organization. If this is of interest, please indicate
       as such in your registration survey answers.

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.
