Associate professor of Construction Science Somik Ghosh has been invited to serve on a panel that will explore mentoring during the Engineering News-Record “Top Young Professionals” Virtual Conference, which will be held February 24-26, 2020. Read on to learn more about the panel discussion, entitled “Two-Way Street: How Traditional and Reverse Mentorships Increase Understanding and Knowledge Transfer.” The panel discussion will take place from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 25.
About the session: Tackling the idea of reverse mentorship–or the concept of members of a firm’s junior ranks tutoring top lieutenants–this panel discusses the value of such relationships, as well as mentorship at large. The panel will help you navigate these mentorships in order to best exchange skills, knowledge and understanding. This session will cover how to establish the proper foundation for a mentor/mentee relationship to thrive, including finding common ground and building trust. It will also show how mentoring will hone your skills and clarify your thinking in your chosen field, which is especially helpful for first-time managers. Finally, our panel will also discuss how mentoring can improve recruitment and retention in your organization.
