iMantri is an online peer-to-peer community for seeking and offering mentoring and coaching

What Company is Offering:
iMantri is an online peer-to-peer community for seeking and offering mentoring and coaching. Tap into the wisdom of your peers and share your gifts with others. iMantri is an online exchange and a social network for mentors and mentees.
Whether you need mentoring or you can offer mentoring or be a mentee and a mentor at the same time, iMantri can help.

How It Works:
iMantri is a mentoring network and your leverage is dependent on your network. With a work email, your colleagues (present and former) will be able to find you easily and also you will be able to join the closed loop networks within your firm. Of course, providing a work email is entirely optional and you may choose to use a personal email ID.
iMantri is driven off competencies and goals as building blocks of mentoring and hence it is essential to pick at least one goal or one competency. You may add/change competencies and goals at any time based on your needs.

In real world, all of us have some strengths and some areas where we need to improve. So when you are trying to be a mentor in an area, you emphasize those skills and competencies and elucidate how you can others. Whereas if you are seeking mentorship, then you will focus on areas where you need help and request help. Given the purpose of each activity is different, iMantri allows for two different profiles.
