The first stage of an extended mentoring program for entrepreneurial individuals, a means of gauging individual needs to develop leadership skills.
On Tuesday 10th July 2007 Pecha Kucha will be held especially for the Cultural Leadership Programme, and will be the first stage of an extended mentoring program for 10 entrepreneurial individuals, and will be employed as a means of gauging individual needs to develop leadership skills.
Subsequently, the mentoring programme will then run for those individuals for the following 4-6 months. Participants will be paired with an appropriate mentor and a programme of contact devised specifically tailored to their development needs. Mentors will offer a gateway to the experts and resources that mentees need to succeed. Research indicates that mentoring is one of the crucial and important factors in career success. Within the programme, some leaders and participants will wish to keep to rehearsing specific skills. Some will focus on self-awareness around dealing with current obstacles. We will also devise a series of bespoke, break-out sessions to help with more general skills and development and knowledge transfer.
At the end of the programme, all the entrepreneurs will present again at Pecha Kucha, which will publicly chart and demonstrate their progress over the course of the 6 month programme.
The ideal applicants for these placements will be dynamic and determined emerging and mid career leaders. To select participants we will focus on the specific entrepreneurial challenges that they currently face, how the programme will positively impact their business or organisation, and how the programme will contribute to their entrepreneurial leadership development. Once applications forms are reviewed we will interview suitable candidates and then choose the final participants, who will then be guided on how to prepare for Pecha Kucha.
Proposals to participate in Pecha Kucha and then after as a mentee in the Developing Entrepreneurs as Leaders mentoring programme should be made by completing the application form and submitting your CV (maximum 3 A4 sides). The closing date for applicants will be noon on Friday 15th June 2007. Successful applicants will need to be available for interview the following week, commencing Monday 18th June.
