Speed Mentoring Program
10 Sessions. 30 Minutes Each. Concentrated Guidance for a Specific Inflection Point.
Not every leadership challenge requires a long-term mentoring relationship. Some situations have a defined window — a new role in the first 90 days, a critical career decision with a deadline, a specific capability gap that needs to close in weeks rather than months. Speed Mentoring delivers concentrated guidance from an ICF-credentialed mentor in 10 sessions of 30 minutes each — directive, focused, and structured around the specific challenge at hand.
What Speed Mentoring Addresses
The Compressed Timeline
The leader needs clarity fast. A new role with a 90-day onboarding window. A major decision with a 45-day timeline. A market entry requiring rapid perspective. Speed Mentoring compresses development into the timeframe the situation actually demands.
The Undefined Challenge
The leader knows something needs to shift but cannot yet name it. In the first two sessions, mentor and leader narrow the focus. The remaining eight build momentum on that focus.
The Directive Need
The leader is not looking for reflective exploration. They need someone to assess the situation and provide experienced perspective: what has worked in similar contexts, what risks are not being seen, how to approach the decision. Speed Mentoring is directive.
