Posted on Blog by Francesca Larson · March 10, 2015 8:00 PM · 1 reaction

By Stephen Alexander, Program Manger, Exponent Philanthropy

For career-minded professionals working in philanthropy—whether in program or administrative roles at foundations, philanthropy support organizations, consulting firms, or academic centers—the field can be a difficult space to navigate. Career paths tend to be limited and unconventional, and, although funders are making great strides in going public with their giving, the field has yet to overcome its tendency toward anonymity.

Leadership Institute Interview – EPIP-LA

Posted on Blog by Francesca Larson · December 10, 2014 7:00 PM
This is an interview with Nicole Gulotta, a member of the steering committee of EPIP-LA.  In this interview, she shares how the LA chapter developed a mentorship program for their members and the process they developed to select both mentees and mentors.   The EPIP-LA chapter steering committee developed a mentorship program for their members. What motivated the group to put together a mentorship program? As the EPIP-LA chapter continued to grow, members of the steering committee noticed a gap between where members were and where they wanted to go. A strong mentorship program that valued both peer relationships and the one-on-one guidance from seasoned professionals seemed like a wonderful addition to the philanthropy landscape in Los Angeles, and would help EPIP-LA members navigate their careers with confidence.   With the second cohort recently put together, can you tell me more about how you selected mentors and mentees for this round of the mentoring program? Mentees are selected from a strong pool of eager applicants. Although the steering committee plays a role, one of the hallmarks of the program is its flexibility for the mentees themselves, so we look for self-starters, enthusiasm, and strategic thinking. Because the program is still relatively new, we’re always looking for ways to improve our process and offerings, and look to each cohort to help refine it for future participants. It’s a very hands-on program, and the cohorts have a chance to help shape it.   How will the impact of this experience be measured for those […] Read more

Do you Need a Mentor? Four Questions to Ask Yourself

Posted on Blog by Francesca Larson · May 12, 2014 8:00 PM
The EPIP Los Angeles mentorship program recently kicked off its pilot year. Since being selected to participate in the cohort, we’ve each identified, reached out to, and had initial conversations with our mentors.   One of the first steps in mentorship is realizing how you can benefit from the process. Prior to our involvement, each of us asked ourselves the question of whether or not we needed a mentor. Mentorship is a unique opportunity to deepen relationships, learn more about the sector, and define career goals. If you’re trying to determine whether or not mentorship is right for you, here are four questions to ask yourself before beginning. 1. Have I articulated what my career goals are? If you’re still trying to determine what you want most out of your career, a mentor can help guide you. It’s often beneficial for someone to talk you through developing goals that are aligned with your skills and interests. 2. Am I currently in a position to fulfill my career goals? Once you’ve determined your short- and long-term goals, you need to ask yourself if your current role is helping you achieve them. Where are your shortcomings? Do you need more training in certain areas, or could you benefit from a masters or certificate program? A mentor can help identify where you might want to focus your energy moving forward. 3. Have I opened myself up to new experiences? Working with a mentor can help expose you to new experiences, like following along […] Read more
