Mentor Panel Directory
Personal Effectiveness & Professional Development Mentoring Panel Directory (Phase 1 - Women Mentors)
WOMEN MENTORS
Below are details of women in UCC who are very willing to mentor staff (irrespective of gender). It is organised according to staff category. If you would like to find out about a person's a) skills & experience b) areas of strength and c) any unique perspectives they may be in a position to offer, please contact traininganddevelopment@ucc.ie for more detailed profiles. Alternatively you can contact the person directly to enquire further without a commitment to participate.
This panel will be continuously updated and further developed to incorporate anyone who is willing to mentor.
Would you be interested in being a mentor to another staff member? If so, we would love to hear from you. Email traininganddevelopment@ucc.ie
Remember one can be mentored or be a mentor at any stage in their UCC career. Unlike coaching where one must have a formal coaching qualification, mentoring does not require such a qualification. Mentoring training is provided on a regular basis to mentees and mentors and also on a one to one basis when required.
** A Mentor's Toolkit has also been developed for all mentors, providing a practical step by step guide to foster a productive and supportive relationship. **
