Looking for a way to progress in your career, but don't know where to turn for guidance?
Look no further than our very own mentoring program with the Midwest Technology Leaders, a group of progressive CIOs in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.
 Overseen by Business and Executive Coach Barry Demp, of Barry Demp Coaching, the Mentoring Program pairs today's top IT leaders with the Midwest's best CIOs. The mentor and mentoree pairs meet one hour per month for a year, supplemented by quarterly best practices meetings (for mentors) and biannual workshops (for mentees).
Click here to listen to an interview with Barry Demp.
In an initial kickoff meeting, mentees choose their own mentors, are guided through the process of creating value for themselves throughout the program, and identify their own goals before the first meeting. Halfway through the program, they have an opportunity to evaluate their experience and give feedback to mentors.
Mentors have quarterly best practices webinars with Barry Demp, where they explore topics such as the various distinctions of mentoring, how to incorporate coaching in the experience and how to become a mentor for life.
Eligible mentees include current ConnecTech members who are focused on what's next for themselves in their career. Please contact ConnecTech for questions concerning eligibility.
