WIFM Webinar to Share Fleet Mentorship Lessons on April 29
Noted by Dave Bean · 629 reads
WIFM’s April 29 webinar brings current and past mentorship participants together to discuss lessons, growth and practical ways to get more from mentoring.


A mentorship relationship can be useful to fleet professionals when it turns experience into practical guidance. WIFM will bring current and past participants in its mentorship program together on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM CT to discuss what they learned, how their relationships developed and what they gained from taking part.
Experience from both sides of the relationship
The session is built around accounts from mentors and mentees. That mix gives attendees a chance to hear how people in different roles describe the same relationship: what helped it work, which lessons stayed with them and how they experienced growth along the way.
The organizers say the discussion will include practical tips and takeaways for people who want to get more from mentorship. The source does not specify the speakers, the session format or a detailed agenda, so the clearest expectation is a conversation grounded in participants’ experiences rather than a formal presentation of program results.
For fleet professionals, those accounts may help make the day-to-day value of mentoring easier to assess. A useful conversation can help participants think through what they want to learn, how they can make time for regular discussions and how to turn advice into steps they can apply at work. Those are general considerations for mentorship; the event description does not list a prescribed process or promise specific outcomes.
Who the session is for
WIFM recommends the webinar for people currently paired in its Mentorship Program, while making it open to all. Past participants may find it relevant if they want to deepen their contribution, and people considering a mentorship relationship can hear how others describe their experiences before deciding what they hope to gain.
That broad audience makes the event relevant at different points in a professional relationship. Someone beginning as a mentee may be weighing what questions to bring and how to use a mentor’s experience. A current participant may be looking for ways to make conversations more focused. A past participant may be considering how lessons from the program can inform future mentoring.
Those examples describe common questions people can bring to a mentorship discussion; they are not specific claims about what WIFM’s speakers will cover. The announced focus is on personal journeys, lessons learned and growth achieved through mentor and mentee relationships.
What attendees can take from participant stories
Experience sharing can help clarify expectations on both sides of a mentoring relationship. Mentees can listen for approaches that helped others get useful guidance, while mentors can consider how their own knowledge and perspective supported a participant’s development. Hearing both accounts may also help attendees understand that the value of a relationship depends on what each person brings to it over time.
The webinar description points to practical takeaways, but does not name a particular fleet topic, job function or operational challenge. Attendees should therefore expect perspectives on mentorship itself, rather than a session centered on a specific vehicle, software platform, fleet process or performance measure.
For managers and professionals considering a mentoring commitment, the discussion may offer a useful starting point for thinking about goals and participation. The central question is how to make an ongoing exchange worthwhile for both people. The speakers’ accounts are intended to give listeners examples to consider, without the event description setting out a single model for every relationship.
Event details and registration
The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM CT. It is suggested for people currently paired in the program, but others interested in mentorship are welcome. The event listing does not provide further details about duration or access, so registrants can consult the event page for information.
For fleet professionals, the practical value will rest in the examples participants share: how mentors and mentees describe their working relationships, what they say they learned and how they connect that experience to continued growth. Those considering joining can use the conversation to shape their own expectations; current and past participants can listen for ideas they may carry into future mentoring relationships.
