KORE Mentorship Solutions Revamps Workplace Leadership with Innovative Mentorship Approach

Woodbridge, Virginia Feb 24, 2025  – For over 20 years, Dr. Summer Watson’s life was characterized by change and adaptation. As a military spouse, she moved every three years, both domestically and internationally, including a three-year stay in Okinawa, Japan. This led her to a diverse career spanning private, federal, and non-profit sectors. Holding a doctorate in psychology and leadership experience in human services, mental health, and entrepreneurship, she adapted to each move by building professional networks, leading across various industries, and expanding her expertise in workforce engagement and mentorship.

This experience provided her with a unique understanding of workplace transitions, leadership development, and resilience—skills that are increasingly vital in today’s workforce, where five generations are now required to collaborate effectively. Recognizing the growing need for mentorship that bridges generational gaps in the evolving job market, Dr. Watson introduced KORE Mentorship Solutions (KMS), an innovative program designed to foster engagement, retention, and leadership across diverse sectors.

“Companies are currently navigating one of the most significant workforce transformations in recent history,” Dr. Watson, the founder of KORE Women, LLC, stated. “With the push for employees to return to the office, weakening leadership pipelines, and the risk of disengaged employees, mentorship needs to adapt. KMS is more than just a program; it’s a psychological and strategic framework that cultivates a sense of belonging, trust, and leadership at all levels of an organization.”

Why KMS Is a Workforce Game-Changer:

Increases Employee Retention – Employees participating in well-structured mentorship programs are 50% more likely to remain with their company (MentorcliQ).

Bridges Leadership Gaps Across Generations – As experienced leaders retire and Gen Z enters the workforce, KMS facilitates the smooth transfer of knowledge, eliminating generational barriers.

Enhances Productivity – Employees who feel connected and supported in their workplace are 17% more productive, which reduces operational inefficiencies (Gallup).

Addresses Workforce Transitions – As workforce models evolve, KMS assists organizations in restoring trust, collaboration, and engagement among employees as they adapt to hybrid and in-office environments.

What Makes KMS Different?

Unlike traditional mentorship programs or reverse mentorship approaches that primarily focus on younger employees mentoring senior leaders, KMS is a fully integrated, cross-generational leadership program. Each participant acts as both mentor and mentee, which reinforces the concept that leadership is a continuous, shared responsibility rather than a hierarchical process.

KMS also incorporates Adlerian psychology principles, emphasizing:

A Sense of Belonging – Employees excel when they feel integrated into a unified, purpose-driven community. KMS provides opportunities for meaningful connections, the development of trust, and mutual growth.

Collaboration Over Hierarchy – Instead of using a top-down mentorship structure, KMS utilizes wisdom from across generations, ensuring leadership development is both mutual and ongoing.

Psychology-Driven Engagement – KMS is grounded in human-centered leadership principles that foster psychological safety, inclusivity, and self-efficacy, enabling employees to lead authentically and effectively.
