Mentoring Insights - The Mentor Perspective

Over 40 participants representing 19 countries gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for IFAC’s Mentoring Insights – The Mentor Perspective workshop on February 17, 2012. The roundtable workshop brought together representatives from countries all over the world, including Australia, Canada, China, India, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, and the UK. Discussions centered around the drivers for undertaking mentoring; the areas in which support is most commonly sought; and the key success factors and challenges based on the experiences of those attending the event. The range of information gathered will be used to inform the PAO Development Committee Mentoring Program, and in particular the mentoring toolkit.

Below are some of the presentations given by attendees. The extended agenda for the event, Mentoring: The Path to Sustainable Development, and the Event Summary are also available.
