| Course Description |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson said “It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can seriously try to help another without helping himself.” Helping another person is the heart of mentoring. While informal mentoring may be preferable, it is especially rare within engineering companies and other entities. Accordingly, some organizations establish formal mentoring programs. This one-hour seminar on CD begins by explaining the fundamentals of mentoring. Advice for successful mentoring follows. The advice is directed, as appropriate, to mentors and to mentees (proteges). Essentials of formal mentoring programs are explained and illustrated. The program includes references to articles, books articles, books, E-newsletters, websites, and other self-study materials. |

| Comments on Webinar |
"It is a great format. It allows many of us to gather in the conference room during lunch hour to attend the seminar in a very efficient and limited timeframe. The hour length is fantastic. It fits into our brown bag lunch seminar plan."
"In an environment where time management is so crucial, it is wonderful to be able to attend a meaningful seminar with such little ancillary time commitments such as travel and coordination. My compliments. ASCE has found the perfect seminar format for today's busy professional." |
