Peer-Led Group Mentoring Provides Clarity and Connection During Uncertain Times
Staring down the global pandemic, our organization pivoted from traditional one-to-one mentoring to a peer-led group mentoring format. Leaders embraced social learning and human interactions they craved in the new remote world. Navigating new roles, leading in ways never imagined, and managing colliding work and personal lives, this modern mentoring approach has been well received and is greatly impacting engagement, collaboration, connection, and retention.
