Hear the story of Courtney R. Johnson, Designer of Mentor Forward.
Sustained and robust evidence suggests effective mentoring is associated with positive personal and career outcomes for mentoring pairs as well as organizational benefits, including fostering retention, improving productivity, and developing new leaders (Tisdell & Shekhawat, 2019). Mentoring maintains adaptability in its implementation, systems of design, goals, and setting. Technology has influenced the trajectory of this once face-to-face initiative as the opportunity to engage in coaching sessions can occur remotely with less consideration on time, location, travel, and expense. Electronic mentoring (eMentoring), an extension of the traditional form of mentoring and implores informal learning, building relationships, and increase communication between stakeholders. With modern mentoring emerging to embed technological aspects, it is crucial to better understand these new prospects and their limitations and explore the ementoring model that works best and for whom (Tisdell & Shekhawat, 2019).
