The effective mentor webinar

 

Designed for project professionals at all career levels who want to understand how to be a highly effective mentor, as well as exploring how, through being a mentor, they can boost their own personal development.

This discussion is also beneficial for project professionals who just want to explore or understand the nature and benefits of being a mentor.

By engaging with this webinar content broadcast on Thursday 21 April 2022 you can understand how to be a highly effective mentor - optimising the development of others through non-directive, coaching approaches to explore and release their potential.

You can also understand how becoming an effective mentor you can accelerate your own personal development, and also see positive differences in your professional environment.

Richard Tulley explains the principles of coaching and mentoring, exploring the fundamental principles of being non-directive, the basis for the development of coaching and mentoring, leading to their increased prominence in the workplace.

The discussion also explores how effective mentoring relationships ‘blend’ into the mentee’s working environment, to be complementary, and avoid conflict with the mentee’s line manager and their development in their role.

Richard has explored a breadth of learning and development methods and is passionate about mentoring and coaching.
Richard mentors within Sopra Steria, has run a programme and project mentoring programme for the last four years and also mentors outside of Sopra Steria on a voluntary basis.
He shares his experience and insight from his role at Sopra Steria and its approach to developing a practice of circa 530 project professionals, as well as from his extensive engagement in external mentoring programmes.

This event is suitable for professionals with any level of experience, but most beneficial to those who are already mentoring, or intending to become a mentor.

Host

Richard Tulley became the director of programme and project management at Sopra Steria in May 2017. His role is about enabling a sustainable, predictable, and profitable business through the development of an industry recognised programme and project management capability, borne of:

• Developing Sopra Steria’s programme and project management talent; and
• Enabling programme and project management control through effective process and method, underpinned by project management tooling, MI, and insight.

Richard has established a UK Programme and Project Management Practice of circa 530 programme and project professionals within a diverse business, leveraging corporate partnerships with both the APM and the House of PMO.

Building upon a 26-year career in programme and project management, where the last 20 years have been focused on the delivery of complex programmes, largely within the public sector, Richard’s role has enabled him to view project manager development from “both ends of the telescope”.

It has also allowed him to develop his passion for coaching and mentoring. Richard is an APM Fellow and a member of the APM Corporate Advisory Group.
