Session on Speed Mentoring
Diversity & Inclusion
10th June 2023
The Diversity & Inclusion Committee of the Bombay Chamber in partnership with Reliance Industries Ltd. conducted a session on Speed Mentoring at Atlas Skilltech University on 10th June 2023. The session saw a participation of 30 pairs of Mentors and Mentees.
The session started with a short presentation by our team on setting the context, what is speed mentoring and the process flow for the same.
Context Setting:
1. Offering a broader set of mentors beyond what would be available within any organization, where there may have limited women role models available.
2. Envisioning a range of opportunities based on diverse interests
3. Addressing knowledge, skill and behavioral gaps across domains and organizations
Speed Mentoring:
‘Speed Mentoring’ session involves a mentee rotating between a number of mentors with a limited time available for each conversation to garner multiple perspectives on certain targeted questions or
professional guidance.
The process of speed mentoring and the roles of Mentors and Mentees were clearly laid down. Each Mentee was able to spend upto 15 minutes with 4 mentors in a duration of 1 hour.
The session was well appreciated by both Mentors as well as Mentees and we received an overall rating of 9.15 from Mentors and 8.86 from Mentees.
The meeting then ended with distribution of Certificate of Appreciation to the Mentors and Certificate of Participation to the Mentees and a Vote of Thanks.
