After 4+ decades in leadership and strategy positions in government, industry and non-profit sectors, Alan became an author to change the conversation around mentoring to make it more available, more inclusive, more structured, more egalitarian, and more effective. He wrote "Growing Mentor Intelligence - A Field Guide to Mentoring" in 2014 to start that process combining my passion for mentoring with insights gained from deep and unique experiences in leadership, mentoring and diversity and inclusion. Following publication, Alan began to offer workshops to organizations large and small - this work continues today. He hopes to change the world one mentor relationship at a time, but knows that the real promise of this life work is to scale beyond his social media connections and word of mouth marketing to a global audience that desperately needs to hear this message. Mentoring is a core enabler to every one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This project is co-led by Alan Landry, Finn Kelly and Erica Mackey.
