Mentoring Programme and Awards

ERA Mentoring Programme ERAMP

The programme is available for ERA Members.

After the successful launch of the ERA Mentoring Programme (ERAMP) in 2021 The Executive Research Association is continuing the programme as a great member benefit. This programme has been a fantastic platform to connect, grow and advance the ERA research community at key career/business milestones using a mentoring network.

For potential mentees, this is a great opportunity for you to connect with a mentor who can offer you insight, advice, opportunity – and help you navigate the next stage/s of your career and/or business. For potential mentors, this is a great opportunity to give back, advance leadership ability, and refine your own skills and networks.

To register your interest please contact sarah@theera.org

You may wish to consider:

  • Whether you would like to be a mentor or mentee?
  • As a mentor, what can you bring to the programme? i.e., what are your areas of expertise and potential focus areas of support you can bring?
  • As a mentee, what are you looking to gain from the mentoring programme? i.e., what support would be of value?

ABOUT ROTY

The ROTY Award was created in 2013.

As a profession executive research can be left in the shadows by the more high profile role of headhunting. One of the remits of the ERA is to raise the profile of the research profession, member feedback was that an award would be a good way to recognise excellence in our sector.

Sadly one of our committee members, Stephanie Pratt, a young and promising executive researcher died in 2011 from cancer. So it felt it was fitting to create an award in her memory.

The Committee are currently considering alternative ways of  awarding professionals in the industry. The last ROTY award was granted in 2020  when a virtual event took place due to the pandemic.

What people say about us

"I have now started the programme and so far, so good. We had our first introductory call and we’ve established a call every 2-3 weeks, the second of which we’re having on Thursday. I love the initiative as it enables not only to exchange knowledge about executive search but also to meet like-minded people with shared experiences, frustrations and successes, albeit working in different sectors! I’ll be able to offer further feedback once we’ve had some more sessions."
