This session provided key insights into mentoring from both an external and internal perspective. It was shaped by historical data from our 2024 mentoring programme, including trends in what mentees seek and what mentors think they can offer, analysed by seniority and country. While this data will be shared with sponsors, it is not publicly available.
The session also featured Anna Quaid from Russell Reynolds, who discussed best practices for internal mentoring, securing mentor buy-in, and ensuring successful mentoring relationships.
The discussion included:
- Engaging mentors and driving participation
- Insights from Level 20’s research and mentoring programme
- Key themes from the 2024 mentoring application pool
- Strategies to enable effective mentoring initiatives
- Common challenges and how firms can overcome them
