Global Mentorship Program doubles resources and international reach
The newly revamped GMP for spa professionals commenced in the New Year fuelled by the momentum created by its year-long pilot programme which took place in 2015.
The programme features mentorship opportunities of a six-months duration, pairing highly experienced spa directors from around the world with spa managers in the spring of their careers for the purpose of guiding and inspiring.
“For our second year, we doubled the mentoring time allocated for each mentee, featuring two six-month sessions instead of the three-month sessions offered during the Pilot Program in 2015,” said Jean-Guy de Gabriac, chair global, Career Development Initiative of the Global Wellness Institute
“The number of mentors and mentees has already more than doubled from last year, with 38 mentorships running from January through June. Comparatively 2015 had 15 mentorships running at any given time from January through June”.
Mentors and mentees represent over 30 countries (increased from 20 last year). Participants will connect monthly via face-to-face, video conferencing platforms, or phone, to discuss the Mentees goals and aspirations for their career growth.
