With the right mentoring, you can achieve the goals of your business in developing better industry standards. Since the world is changing continually, that means the industry is also changing. With every association set up differently, it may take longer than necessary for one to understand that its offerings aren’t cutting deals anymore.
Here, the right mentor can help you understand the market, detect why you are lagging, and help grow.
Find gaps
Mentoring programs can assist you in finding gaps in what you offer to your members or clients. With members actively communicating about the industry, it becomes easy to spot the gaps and address them.
Stimulate conversation
Mentoring programs also create opportunities to stimulate conversations regarding problems in the industry. It could be about the latest development, a system, a trend, or a technology. Mentoring brings people together to share, discuss thoughts, and grow.
Garner support
With the right mentor, you can gain more involvement and support for advocacies and activities already present in the association. It is possible for many in the industry to not know you exist. So, you can leverage such a program to get your word out and create a stronger presence in the association.
Flip the script
There can be newbies in the industry or association who need help setting things up. Here, you can flip the script and mentor them instead by offering juniors help and gaining a new perspective as a senior.
Whatever industry or association you belong to, mentorship programs are great ways to build a strong group and ensure mutual growth.
