Uncertainty is a reality for everyone, all over the world.  Leaders, Start-Up Entrepreneurs, Managers, Boards, all face the challenge of having to deal with the unknown and uncertainty.  In this context, mentoring evolved from knowledge sharing to co-creating new possibilities, taking advantage of the differences in know-how, maturity, and experience of the mentor and the mentee.

This Panel will have the participation of accredited mentors who will show how they are boosting their mentoring in this paradigm.
