To mark National Mentoring Month, myGwork is hosting an event entitled the Importance of Mentoring. The panel, which will be held on the 26th of January, will explore how LGBTQ+ professionals can access and use mentoring programs for personal development.
With themes ranging from listening to how mentees and mentors can work together, to how anyone can be a mentor, attendees can find out how to replicate the successes and learn from the valuable lessons imparted. It's a two-way street – just as the mentee gains skills, support, and guidance on a number of topics, the mentor is developing their skills in leadership and self-confidence, leading to better results for all.
The event is moderated by Tom Gates, Associate, Entertainment and Media at Reed Smith LLP – also the panel’s sponsor.

Experts speaking at the event, include:
Robin Panrucker, Head of Talent Development at Taylor Wessing LLP

Samantha Raoult, Sales Development at Morningstar

Elliot O'Glasser, HR Director at Leica Biosystems at Danaher Corporation
