Abstract

This discussion will encapsulate the essence of how mentoring can influence and shape one's professional journey. Through MEET, we expect participants to share their experiences on how to seek guidance, gain insights, and build connections that are instrumental in navigating the complexities of career advancement. We will encourage a discussion through the sharing of experiences on mentoring programmes which have impacted and significantly enriched our own career trajectories.

Considering our experience in the EARMA Mentoring pilot, Claudia and Cristina will share how their reciprocal learning, has led to increased confidence, improved communication skills, exchange of best practices and broadening of our professional networks.
Mentoring is a powerful tool for career advancement, offering many benefits for both, mentors and mentees. Engaging in mentorship can provide direction, focus, and the opportunity to set and achieve significant career milestones.
A transformational mentorship goes beyond the traditional dynamics, fostering a two-way relationship where both parties learn and grow together.

We are happy to share how we approached this and are interested in hearing from others about how they foster two-way communication and dynamic interaction in their mentoring activities.
We are willing to hear your thoughts on maximizing the benefits of mentorship within the RMA community!
