Client Testimonials

"I remain impressed with both your service and product. I have spent years trying to implement and nurture formal mentoring programs. As a frustrated executive, I really appreciated your positive approach. I wanted to know what could work. I was bright enough to know what I was doing was not working, but I did not have the expertise or time to fix it. EQmentor has provided a sound framework to dissolve logistical barriers. Matching of mentees and mentors is much more scientific. It has removed our failed limitations and biases:

We have stores in [multiple] states. We do not provide the logistical framework beyond telephone service to support long distance interactions.

Our 'matching' efforts were primarily based on historical silos. We would assign the mentee with a mentor who had experience in the job the mentee was doing now. What if a mentee in operations was interested in marketing? It did not fit in our model.

Another matching approach was the 'look alike.' Enough said.

We insisted that all mentees and mentors accept that all conversations and coaching sessions were private. Regardless of any company’s culture, one cannot declare with certainty this promise….and surely cannot mandate trust."

~ EQmentor Client, VP, Fortune 500 Company

"All my mentees consistently remark about three outstanding features of EQmentor:

• Complete privacy (what a relief…can really talk)
• Impressive resources (mentors, villages, articles)
• Well-trained mentors (experts who expressed an interest in learning, too)."

~ George Faulk, VP Recruiting/Training & Development, Harris Teeter
(US chain of supermarkets)

"[EQmentor] is based on solid research and is already tested and proven. Mentoring has been around for a long time, but this approach to mentoring is truly new and fascinating. The first big advantage of this method is cost. Mentoring is not often used because of the difficulty of finding qualified mentors and then because of the cost of using internal or external resources for in-person mentoring is often prohibitive. In EQmentor’s model, you are matched with an existing pool of screened and trained—yes, already trained, mentors. The anonymity... [and] the commitment, three meaningful interactions per week for a minimum of six months, is another reason why it works. And what makes it easy? It’s online."

~ Dick Handshaw, CEO, Handshaw Inc. (US eLearning and instructional design supplier)

Mentee Feedback

"The EQmentor program definitely delivers on its promises. As an active participant, I was able to experience first-hand the value of a confidential and anonymous mentor/mentee relationship. Through my mentor I was able to engage in learning activities when I needed to and was also able to better understand emotional intelligence and its impact in the work environment. In addition, EQmentor gave me the opportunity to learn with peers outside of my company, industry and vocation through the EQ Village. The EQ Village, which allows me to remain anonymous, was a great way for me to collaborate, research and to grow outside of my mentor relationship. I would recommend this program to any organization."

"What an exciting, innovative concept. EQmentor provides a real-time opportunity to pull all the self-help, business savvy books that have been written over the years and turn that information into knowledge. Whether through EQ Village or its mentors, it is live, easy to use, point in time advice when you need it. I love it and can't imagine not having it."

"EQmentor will forever change mentoring. It gives experienced professionals a way to help a younger generation with the use of technology. That, before now, was not possible."

"It is a great program, you get out of it what you put into it and it is very beneficial to both personal and professional growth."
