Mentoring skills workshop - 24 Nov

Mentoring skills workshops are open to all current and potential Academy mentees as well as Academy Fellows.

The workshop is facilitated by Dr Amy Iversen, Visiting Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry and Director of Håbe Consulting. Amy is a former Academy mentee and an experienced mentoring scheme coordinator and coach. The workshop is very participatory in style and focuses on developing practical skills.

Amy Iversen was absolutely fantastic – an engaging speaker and role model for women in academia. I really enjoyed the interactive sessions.Workshop attendeeOur mentoring skills workshops are a chance to hone your mentoring technique and discuss the challenges of being an effective mentor or mentee.

As a result of the workshop, you will have a clear understanding of:
