| Strong
and effective Mentoring can be thought of as the critical
factor in the success of minority professionals. Because
of its importance, the Toigo Foundation has placed Mentoring
at the center of its APEx™ leadership curriculum.
We believe that Mentoring is more than a one-time encounter
and exchange of contact information; we believe it is
a process that takes place throughout one’s career,
a cycle that includes coaching, formalized mentoring,
and the expectation that, upon graduation, the Fellow
will reciprocate by becoming a Coach and a Mentor. Fellows
benefit from a structured program of coaching and mentoring
during business school, and Alumni are able to tap into
advanced professional mentoring resources.
|
Uniquely designed training programs impart the relevant tools
to form a strong partnership. In the Toigo definition of Mentoring,
everyone benefits. Mentors and Coaches gain perspective and
skills, which are immediately transferable to the day-to-day
work life.
All Mentors and Coaches become part of a dynamic team of advocates,
colleagues, peers, and other professionals who serve as a
supportive network to help prepare Fellows and Alumni for
the responsibilities they will assume as successful financial
professionals and industry leaders.
