CIPD Mentoring Event - TONIGHT!

If you have read my previous posts you will know that tonight is the West London Branch of the CIPD’s ‘Turbo Charge through Tough Time with Mentoring’ – I know, the anticipation is getting too much for me too!

In light of yesterdays announcements by the government of widespread budget cuts, this event is quite apt. There would seem to be pretty uncertain times ahead for all in both the private and public sector so never could it be more vital to be able to draw upon the experiences and knowledge of a mentor to help make tough decisions in the months ahead.

Does this guy need a mentor maybe?

As I have mentioned previously John McGurk, L and D Advisor to the CIPD will be speaking at the event and there will be an opportunity to meet both mentors and mentess who have experienced the scheme previously. In short, as I have gone long on previous posts on this event (!), I think this is an event you cannot afford to miss!


As far as I can tell spaces are still available – please feel free to look at the CIPD website for further information. Either way I hope to see you there tonight for some inspiration in these tough times!

3 Weeks till you get turbo charged!

Leaves are turning brown on the trees, Christmas cards are going on sale and my summer exercise regime has totally lost its edge. With these events slowly creeping up on me can only mean one things - yes, that's right, 3 weeks until we all get turbo charged at the West London CIPD Mentoring event!

What? We were all on the same page in that regard no?!

I have mentioned about some of the events content in previous posts but just as a reminder Dr John McGurk, Learning and Development guru to the CIPD (no joke - he is a Dr so surely guru goes without saying right?)  

will be talking at the event and you will have an opportunity to register as a mentee/mentor, meet people who have used the scheme, eat pringles* etc.

Not sure whether this might be for you? Well the scheme is of use to HR practitioners across all different spectrums of the career ladder - have a look at the CIPD website if you are not convinced. 

Not got time for the link? Well think about whether you would be interested in a free service which could benefit your professional development, help accelerate elements of your career management, therefore making sure what you do during 35-40 hours of your week has more purpose to it.

Interested? We both knew you would be!
