Dr. Julie Todaro Reveals the Mysteries of Mentoring at LLAMA Midwinter Institute

Are mentors all they’re cracked up to be? Can you find professional success and growth without one? Do you have what it takes to be an effective mentor? Dr. Julie Todaro will help you answer these questions and many more during “The Mysteries of Mentoring: How to become The Perfect Mentor or Perfect Mentee.”

This one-day institute will be presented by the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) on Jan. 7, 2011 in San Diego, Calif. in conjunction with the American Library Association’s midwinter meeting.

Topics will include: the value of mentoring, what mentoring is and isn’t, the wide variety of mentor opportunities, in-person and virtual mentoring, mentoring good and bad performance, and delivering good and bad news to mentees. You will discover how you can become a good mentor and what makes a good mentee. Younger professionals looking for a mentor will learn what to look for
