    NEW YORK, NY, February 17, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The new book, CREATIVE MENTORSHIP AND CAREER-BUILDING STRATEGIES: How to Build Your Virtual Personal Board of Directors is launched by Oxford University Press. Creative Mentorship, by Mary Pender Greene, LCSW-R, CGP, brings the most advanced mentoring methods out of the Fortune 500 boardroom into your conference room, classroom, or even your living room - giving everyone access to the most innovative yet practical mentoring methods used by today's most powerful and influential leaders.

"With less time, lower budgets, and more uncertainty, traditional professional mentorship models just don't work in today's economy, says Pender Greene. "There has been a paradigm shift as to how professional knowledge is passed on; it no longer happens naturally through customary corporate grooming and succession rituals." To address this, Creative Mentorship shows you how to select specialized mentors who will accompany and assist you throughout your professional journey. A Virtual Personal Board of Directors is your own "professional posse," a group of professionals upon whom you can depend for unbiased, informed, and educated opinions on a variety of matters.

Creative Mentorship features engaging exercises, worksheets, chapter takeaways, and rules of engagement that will transform the way you approach your career. You will learn how to apply VPBOD strategies to get maximum benefit from a proven methodology. It guides you, step-by-step, through the process of building your own Virtual Personal Board of Directors. A toolbox of tactics, strategies, and rules of engagement will ensure that you fully assimilate the VPBOD networking strategy, learn how to best leverage its innovative tactics and integrate the methodology into every aspect of your professional life.

Creative Mentorship will enable readers at all career levels to achieve their professional goals and make their most ambitious dreams a reality.
