Twomentor LLC [Boca Raton, FL and Washington DC] is going to focus the next few months on getting people virtually connected through peer mentoring to support each other through ambiguity and change.
The company decided to create a significantly more engaging webinar model than the typical Zoom or Adobe Connects 'talking heads' sessions based on their global flash mentoring sessions. "When you hold the space and let a human being help a human being, it brings out the best in everyone, says Julie Kantor Founder & CEO of Twomentor. "Having a mentor buddy or buddies will foster a much greater sense of inclusion and belonging during these challenging moments," adds Kantor who has run sessions for Verizon, The World Bank, Women in Technology International, Abbott Laboratories, Marriott, The Federal Reserve Bank and more. In one landmark study conducted by Wharton and Gartner, people who mentored were promoted 6x more, mentees 5x more and retention rates were 20% higher. Isolating not good for anyone and can be frankly dangerous for the influx of workers who began working in these past three weeks remotely due to Coronavirus. Mental health and wellbeing are of utmost concern. Twomentor (www.twomentor.com) commits to running weekly sessions open to executives around leadership, dealing with ambiguity and change, and resiliency. There will be absolutely no cost involved for participants and companies to attend these weekly open sessions but space is limited to 150 due to breakout rooms. The company has facilitated dozens of these for corporate and university clients finding a 97% engagement rates in breakout rooms and new connections that continue long past the dynamic experience.
