Katie Viviers has used mentoring throughout her career to progress from working as a genetic counsellor to the CEO of a private specialist centre. Listen in as she walks us through her career and how the support of her long-standing mentor made the transition from clinical work, to a leadership role possible.
Katie’s experience with a number of mentors, sheds light on the invaluable dynamics of mentor-mentee relationships at different points in your career.
Lisa and Katie explore:
· The qualities that make a good mentor
· The importance of diversity of thought in mentoring
· The benefits of having multiple mentors, and
· The significance of being open to opportunities.
Katie now reciprocates the support she received, by mentoring others. Through being a mentor herself she shares the importance of setting expectations and understanding the context of the person you're mentoring.
