Mentor Profile
We welcome mentors from all industries – the programme aims to gather collective learnings from the career journeys of our mentors to support the growth and development of our SGLN Fellows.
Ideally, you would have worked for at least 20 years and have global leadership experience, with expertise in at least one of the following topic areas that align with the learning outcomes of the SGLN Fellowship:
- Display new perspectives and motivation to seek out regional/global job exposures to prepare for global leadership roles
- Embrace a complex, ambiguous environment
- Create and leverage networks and communicate with clarity and ‘heart’ for impact
- Embrace and manage diversity by being sensitive to the cultural context and exercising cultural flexibility
Why be a Mentor for the SGLN Fellows?
Mentoring is a special partnership between two people based on commitment to the mentoring process, common goals/expectations of the partnership, and mutual trust and respect. It is a “get and give” experience with the goal of providing a rich and rewarding experience for both.
As a mentor, you have the opportunity to reflect on your own achievements and hurdles, reinforcing valuable lessons learned along your journey. Beyond personal growth, mentoring offers a host of other benefits, which can include:
- Building new and meaningful relationships built on shared success
- Acquiring fresh insights and ideas from others professional contexts (e.g. cross-industry understandings)
- Developing your skill as a “teacher” – helping clarify and develop their goals
- Developing your skills as a “guide” – helping someone navigate their professional challenges
- Being a part of history in the making by playing a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of globally-minded Singaporean business leaders and leaving a lasting impact on Singapore's talent ecosystem
