"Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction." — John C. Maxwell
Objective
Facilitate fast-paced mentoring sessions that connect employees with experienced leaders to quickly navigate career hurdles, gain actionable guidance, and drive long-term engagement and retention.
Facilitation Strategies:
• Host a "Speed Mentoring Toolbox Talk" during Construction Inclusion Week, setting up station tables on job sites for field crews to rotate through 10-minute sessions with executive leaders and trade directors.
• Organize a "Career Pathways Speed Stand-Down" pairing trade apprentices and junior office personnel with senior project managers to ask targeted questions about overcoming industry hurdles.
• Conduct a hybrid speed mentoring session connecting regional job site workers with corporate leaders across different construction divisions to build cross-functional relationships.
• Provide facilitators with "Career Challenge Flash Cards" to guide structured, 8-minute mentor-mentee rotations focused on retention, leadership development, and practical career navigation.
