About this Event
Drawing on his book , Frankie J. Weinberg shows how mentees can take an active role in their development by bringing real challenges and opportunities to the conversation. Mentors offer perspective and guidance; together, both people shape the relationship.

About the Book
While most mentoring books teach you how to follow, Mentorship shows you how to lead. This book introduces a bold new approach to mentoring – one that empowers mentees to captain their own growth while engaging mentors as trusted navigators. Grounded in research and rich with real-life stories, this book offers a fresh paradigm for how mentoring can – and should – work in today’s evolving world of work and life. Whether you’re navigating your first career move, seeking clarity in a leadership transition, or mentoring others, Mentorship invites you to rethink outdated models and embrace the power of authentic mentoring. Through the transformative ACE Framework – Align, Collaborate, Evolve – this book explores how to build relationships that are flexible, individualized, and rooted in mutual growth. Along the way, you'll develop the Seven Cs of Mentoring: Coachability, Connection, Co-Creation, Capital, Cultivation, Courage, and Competence – key competencies that will help you lead with confidence and grow with intention.
