CMI is launching a mentoring program as part of its membership.

This program will support the building of relationships between experienced change management professionals and members who are seeking opportunities for career and professional development.

We have a number of people that have already offered to participate as mentors, however with the launch of membership we are looking for further volunteers across Australia. We are therefore keen to hear from experienced members who are willing to participate as Mentors.

As a mentor you will benefit through:
- Further developing mentoring skills including; providing feedback, communication and interpersonal skills
- Personal and professional satisfaction
- Contributing to the profession and CMI in particular
- Staying in touch with emerging issues relevant to less experienced change management practitioners.

The program will run over a 12 month period, commencing with a kick-off session including an overview of the program, sharing some tools and an opportunity for networking. Mentors and participants will determine the format of the ongoing relationship, usually meeting about once a month.

The mentoring will be launched through an interesting 'Speed Dating' activity in October. If you would like to be a mentor, please let us know. Send us a brief response to cmiinfo@change-management-institute.com by 31 August 2009
