Work With Me
Mentorship program design, capability training for mentors and mentees, and direct 1:1 mentoring. Structure built so the relationship actually happens.
The program launched.
The relationships didn't.
Structure, training, and direct mentoring. Built so the relationship actually happens.
Most organizations that want to build a mentorship program do the same thing: they create a resource. A matching tool. A sign-up page. A repository of willing mentors.
And then they wait for mentoring to happen.
It doesn't. Not reliably. Not at scale.
The conditions that used to produce organic mentorship are largely gone: shared space, stable teams, long tenures. Mentorship doesn't just happen anymore. It has to be designed. The structure, the training, the relationships, all of it has to be built deliberately.
I work with organizations and individuals in three ways.
Mentorship Program Design
Building the structure that makes mentorship possible: cadence, matching criteria, touchpoints, and the guardrails that keep pairs on track long after launch day.
I run an active program every cohort cycle as Mentorship Program Director for PMI San Diego. What I bring your team is a live model, not a slide deck.
Capability Development
A program is only as strong as the people inside it. I train:
- Mentors, on how to mentor well: listening, goal-setting, feedback that actually lands
- Mentees, on how to be a good mentee: setting goals, driving the relationship, asking for what they need
- Project managers, on core PM capability (I teach this as an instructor with SDSU Global Campus's PM certificate program)
- Organizations, on how mentorship fits into a broader talent and development strategy
This is the layer most programs skip. A matching tool doesn't teach anyone how to mentor, or how to be mentored well.
1:1 Mentoring
Sometimes the fastest path is direct. I mentor individuals one-on-one, across disciplines, drawing on 15+ years running programs, teams, and launches.
Built for longevity
Every engagement is designed so your team can run the program without me. The goal is capability transfer, not dependency.
Let's talk.
A 30-minute conversation about where you are, what you've already tried, and which of these would actually help. No pitch, no commitment, no pressure. Just a conversation.
