It can be used to stretch talented individuals, power diversity programmes and ensure that knowledge and experience is successfully handed down.

Organizations offering mentorship gain from improved employee performance and talent retention. Everyone Needs a Mentor explains what mentoring is, what various models there are and how these differ from coaching. It shows you how to make a business case for mentoring and then how to set up, run and maintain your own programme. This fully revised 5th edition of Everyone Needs a Mentor has been revised and updated to include a wealth of international case studies alongside developments in the field such as multinational mentoring, maternity mentoring and the impact of social media on mentoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who’s pulling for you? Who’s got your back? Who’s putting your hat in the ring? Odds are this person is not a mentor but a sponsor. Mentors can build your self-esteem and provide a sounding board—but they’re not your ticket to the top. If you’re interested in fast-tracking your career, what you need is a sponsor—a senior-level champion who believes in your potential and is willing to advocate for you as you pursue that next raise or promotion. In this powerful yet practical book, economist and thought leader Sylvia Ann Hewlett—author of ten critically acclaimed books, including the groundbreaking Off-Ramps and On-Ramps—shows why sponsors are your proven link to success. Mixing solid data with vivid real-life narratives, Hewlett reveals the “two-way street” that makes sponsorship such a strong and mutually beneficial alliance. The seven-step map at the heart of this book allows you to chart your course toward your greatest goals. Whether you’re looking to lead a company or drive a community campaign, Forget a Mentor, Find a Sponsor will help you forge the relationships that truly have the power to deliver you to your destination.

Book excerpt: A VAMPIRE NOVEL BY BRAM STOKER NOMINATED AUTHOR, BILLIE SUE MOSIMAN, author of more than 50 books. Rise of the Legend is Book Two in the Vampire Nation Chronicles, but can be read as a standalone novel. From Booklist (Review for Malachi's Moon the paperback novel now titled RISE OF THE LEGEND) Malachi is the child of a vampire (his mother) and a human (his father). Though mortal, he possesses many of the powers of vampires; and one vampire, Balthazar, is convinced that he is a threat to the most dangerous kind of vampires, the Predators. Balthazar haunts Malachi's dreams and, when Malachi reaches his teens, begins to send assassins after him. Malachi fears for his family's safety and decides to leave home for a while. Meanwhile, in Thailand, imprisoned vampire Charles Upton is planning to escape and wreak havoc on the vampire world by gathering the Predators together to destroy the other two kinds of vampires, the Naturals, who live as humans, and the sickly Cravens. When Upton and Balthazar team up to achieve their respective goals, Mentor, a powerful vampire who tries to keep order among the vampire groups, realizes that both vampire and human worlds could be thrown into chaos and sets out to stop them. Well-drawn characters and a complex plot put this a cut above the usual vampire fare. Kristine Huntley Copyright © American Library Association.

Download or read book Meditation Mentorship Ministry that Teaches Self Control to Improve Parent Child Relationships in Korean Immigrant Families written by JC Ed Choi and published by JC Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My mentoring service was provided to Korean immigrant parents in pastoral settings for the purpose of helping them renew their family spirit and strengthen their relationships with their Canadian-raised children. Both Jean-Guy Nadeau's pastoral praxeology and Richard Osmer's four main tasks were adopted as guideposts since the nature of this project incorporated pastoral, ethical, and practical theological. The empirical/descriptive task of observation includes data collection, analysis, and interpretation within the framework of the research design and plan. The research findings indicate that conflicts between parents and children diminish family spirit within Korean immigrant families. The interpretive task problematizes the research findings by performing contextual analysis and draws on theories of human sciences to show how Korean immigrant families are affected by the traditional Korean value system founded on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The normative task of theological interpretation presents how Christian virtues, evangelical qualities of relationships, and ethical norms and teachings of the Church can become incorporated into the lifestyles of Korean immigrant parents who wish to live in harmony with their children and renew their family spirit in full accordance with the Gospel. The pragmatic task of operational re-elaboration implements a ministerial solution formulated on theoretical and spiritual interpretations that are concerned with how the mentoring service can be used to cultivate Christian virtues in Korean immigrant parents, teach them self-control practice, and strengthen their relationships with their children.

Download or read book The Next Generation of Scientists in Africa written by Catherine Beaudry and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young scientists are a powerful resource for change and sustainable development, as they drive innovation and knowledge creation. However, comparable findings on young scientists in various countries, especially in Africa and developing regions, are generally sparse. Therefore, empirical knowledge on the state of early-career scientists is critical in order to address current challenges faced by those scientists in Africa. This book reports on the main findings of a three-and-a-half-year international project in order to assist its readers in better understanding the African research system in general, and more specifically its young scientists. The first part of the book provides background on the state of science in Africa, and bibliometric findings concerning Africas scientific production and networks, for the period 2005 to 2015. The second part of the book combines the findings of a large-scale, quantitative survey and more than 200 qualitative interviews to provide a detailed profile of young scientists and the barriers they face in terms of five aspects of their careers: research output; funding; mobility; collaboration; and mentoring. In each case, field and gender differences are also taken into account. The last part of the book comprises conclusions and recommendations to relevant policy- and decision-makers on desirable changes to current research systems in Africa.
