Theme: Relationship Management

Humans are relational beings and our interactions with others can have an impact for how engaged and valued we feel at work. Some professional relationships occur naturally, especially with those who work in close proximity to us, but others take effort to build within our workplaces and in roles we aspire towards. This is especially the case when we are working in remote environments and the casual hallway conversations are not available to us.

Bringing intention into how we build relationships at work can have many benefits - connecting with colleagues in different departments and levels of the organization, improving the efficiency in how we do our work, boosting our sphere of influence and interpersonal skills, making work more fun, and many other advantages.

Join us on November 8 to learn from our well-connected Mentors who they approach professional relationship management in their own careers.

The Fall mentors will be announced soon!

  • What is speed mentoring?

  • A Speed Mentoring event consists of a series of short, round-table discussions facilitated by one volunteer mentor and up to three mentees.

  • Form new connections with both mentors and mentees from a diverse set of backgrounds.

  • Explore how having a mentor could support you and your career.

  • Gather a range of new perspectives on a challenge you are currently facing.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion are important to WCT and our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space to connect.

Share your wisdom and experience by being a mentor yourself

Mentoring is a great way to share your wisdom and develop your own leadership skills. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please email BC@wct-fct.com to learn how.
