  Ambition In Motion works with companies and organizations to connect their people together for mentoring relationships with the aim of increasing engagement, productivity, and retention.

Ambition In Motion provides live, online workshops teaching participants the most up-to-date information in mentorship, strategically crafted and customized agendas for every mentor conversation to ensure each relationship grows and continues to build rapport, feedback assessments on every mentor conversation, and feedback assessments every 6 months to assess engagement changes over time of participating employees and uses research-backed methods to project how that changes in engagement affects the bottom line.

  MentorResource.com was created in an effort to make a full-fledged mentorship platform. Mentorship goes beyond connecting students with certain degrees with professionals in stereotypical careers as those degrees. Mentorship incorporates matching the personalities and perceptions of students with mentors that fit best, getting students involved and engaged, identifying the best mentors for each student based on research-proven criteria, creating an environment that efficiently and effectively allows students to connect with mentors and vice versa, and providing resources to students and mentors so then they can stay in touch after their initial conversation. MentorResource.com accomplishes this by using the most up-to-date research and technology on mentorship to provide the best possible solution to universities seeking a great way to engage their students and alumni.
