- Sponsored by ACS Webinars
- April 23rd, 11:00 am-Noon, Online, Free, Registration required
Careers in chemistry are often defined not just by discovery, but by direction. At critical moments you may find yourself choosing a path, navigating transitions, or expanding into new areas. At times like this, having a powerful mentorship relationship built with intention can make all the difference. When both mentor and mentee actively engage, growth becomes a shared outcome.
In this practical, insight-driven webinar, Kelly Diggs of Kelly A. Diggs Consulting, LLC breaks down what effective mentorship really is and just as important, what it is not. You’ll discover how to identify the right mentors for your goals, structure relationships that create mutual value, and avoid the common pitfalls that make mentorship fall flat. You’ll also get an exclusive first look at the new ACS Mentorship Program designed to connect scientists across disciplines and career stages with purpose and clarity. Whether you’re seeking guidance or ready to give it, this webinar offers a framework to make mentorship actionable and impactful.
This ACS Webinar is co-produced with the ACS Mentorship Program and is moderated by Yvonne Pearson of the American Chemical Society.
