International Society for Performance Improvement, Carolinas Chapter: September 2008 Meeting





September announcement:



When: September 17, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Who: Pam Bauer, Executive VP of EQmentor, Inc.

Where: Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center. 4700 Emperor
Blvd., Durham, NC 27703, Sandhills room Directions

Presentation: Virtual Mentoring





Looking for a new way to grow and develop new employees,
people needing performance improvement and high potentials? style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Consider virtual
mentoring! In this lively interactive discussion/demonstration, Pam Bauer
creates a business case for virtual mentoring and demonstrates how it
is done.



EQmentor believes that concepts and theories can be learned in a classroom
or training environment, but learning that results in lasting change is
the result of a committed learner over a committed period of time. Furthermore,
it is the mistakes we make and the challenges we face that help us learn.
These challenges unveil a series of emotions that if not recognized, labeled,
processed, and responded to, can derail even the most talented and intellectually
gifted people



Online mentoring is a unique and innovative approach
to increasing the emotional intelligence of working professionals through
a non-traditional mentoring process and a self-building community of professional
peer collaboration.



Pam Bauer is Executive Vice President at EQmentor, bringing with her
over 28 years of experience in training and education. Pam’s accumulated
experience stems from a number of key positions she has held during her
career, having started as an instructional designer and having most recently
run her own performance improvement company for fifteen years. Pam’s vast
corporate experience prepared her to understand and address the challenges
many corporations encounter. Pam has a BA in Education, and a MA in Writing.
She has also completed the entire Instructional Design curricula of both
Bob Mager and Joe Harless.
