Executive mentoring is simply the process whereby an external executive mentor becomes the trusted advisor, confidante, guide, sounding board, supporter and confidential ‘functional’ developer of an internal executive.
It is likely that you are a seasoned senior director who has all the skills and capabilities to do the job, but who would benefit from having a confidential executive mentor – someone who has held similar and bigger roles to you in the past. Alternatively, you may have responsibility for talent and want to source senior mentors as part of your senior succession plan.
