As we wrap up 2025, I’ve been reflecting on the Forbes article featuring three HR leaders looking back on this year’s biggest lessons.
Their take was clear: 2025 was defined by volatility—rapid AI adoption, political tension, and constant pressure to move fast.
However, many leaders and organizations learned the hard way that speed doesn’t necessarily equal progress.
The real insight is that 2026 will demand something different: more intentionality, more humanity, scaling technology thoughtfully, and more systems that help people feel supported, connected and grounded.
That’s exactly where structured mentoring becomes powerful.
Mentoring helps build real human connections, trust, empathy, and a sense of belonging.
And it is those skills that hold your teams and members together to drive business forward.
As you think about your people strategy for the new year, where does mentorship fit into your plans?
Are you looking to:
- Improve employee retention and engagement?
- Attract new members and increase loyalty among existing ones?
- Build a learning culture in your organization?
- Facilitate knowledge transfer?
- Develop future leaders?
- Promote diversity and inclusion in your organization?
We’re opening up special meetings to go over your 2026 mentorship program goals.
