Webinar: Fostering Growth Through Mentorship by IWLCA

About this Webinar

Coaches have numerous opportunities to guide, influence, and direct those they work with – both on their own staff and on their team. How can you be a better mentor to those around you? Join us for an in-depth conversation on what mentoring entails and ideas on how coaches can improve their skills in this area. The panel, moderated by Janine Tucker (Johns Hopkins University, retired), will include Bonnie Rosen (Temple University), Caitlin Hansen (Saint Leo University), and Jim Nestor (Salisbury University).
