Guru Guidance
To continue our focus on training and relationship building among SMPS members, SMPS DC is excited about our new Mentoring Program, Guru Guidance. Guru Guidance is an eight-month program that pairs professionals of all experience levels with leading area marketers, providing a platform for the growth and development of specialized skills and facilitating relationship building among fellow SMPS DC members.
The program is comprised of two main components: individual meetings and organized group activities. We host 3 to 4 organized group events during the course of the year, with activities ranging from networking to community service. All program participants meet, share and learn from each other at these meetings.
Additionally, each guru-mentee pair should plan to have one face-to-face meeting per month. Though suggested topics of conversation are provided each month, we ultimately hope that the pairs use this time to get to know each other better and cover topics to meet their individual needs. To help improve the program and ensure that everyone benefits from the experience, we ask that mentees provide brief written feedback to the Guru Guidance committee after each meeting.
Guru Guidance aims to be a mutually beneficial program for both guru and mentee. By allowing industry leaders to share their wisdom and know-how with less experienced marketers, not only do participants learn new skills, but each gains a new perspective on professional marketing in the A/E/C field.
The program runs from fall to late spring of each year with pairings occurring prior to the beginning of the program in the fall.
