Episode 7 is here and so is Michael Nord, SCMP.  Dan and Michael took some time out at Leadership Institute to chat about the excitement surrounding mentoring.  

If you're a chapter leader, then click on this link ( https://www.iabc.com/leader-centre/run-your-chapter/mentoring/ ) to access the mentoring section on Leader Centre. You will need to be logged in to the site. Or you can navigate to Leader Centre - Run your chapter and click on mentoring.  

If you're looking to develop as a professional, consider mentoring as a way to grow. Both mentors and mentees benefit from the relationship, especially with the new program and framework provided by the IABC Mentoring Task Force.

Ève Laurier - General Manager, Edelman Montréal joins Dan Gold on the IABC Podcast to talk about the findings from the 2019 Edelman Trust Barometer.

The study reveals that trust has changed profoundly in the past year—people have shifted their trust to the relationships within their control, most notably their employers. 

Globally, 75 percent of people trust “my employer” to do what is right, significantly more than NGOs (57 percent), business (56 percent) and media (47 percent).
