About Speed Mentorship

Better your leadership through quick and useful mentoring from top leaders across the country.

What is Speed Mentorship?

Mentoring is a structured relationship that brings up and coming leaders together with seasoned leaders that offer guidance, support and encouragement. These relationships develop skills and character. Generally, one-on-one mentorships can take months of meetings and conversations, but in today’s world, sometimes months are just too much a time commitment. 

Speed Mentorship was developed for busy, young leaders that are looking to develop their skills through a variety of quick and informational mentorship sessions. Each of the Speed Mentorship sessions are between 15-30 minutes of highly valuable guidance from top leader’s around the country. 

Speed Mentorship Host

After spending years under the mentorship of some of today’s top leaders, Matt McAlear had the idea to share quick mentorship sessions with the world. 

Utilizing the relationships he’d built as the CEO of the McAlear Group, Matt designed a mentorship program built for speed.

Each mentorship interview features thought-provoking guidance from veteran leaders as well as actionable next steps for young leaders to improve their professional skills and knowledge. 

Matt McAlear is the fourth generation CEO of The McAlear Group which includes Service Spring Corporation, Draincables Direct, Innovative Machine & Manufacturing and Mini-Max Storage. He attended Owens Community College and then entered the family business to open up operations in Visalia, California. The McAlear Group is a leading advanced manufacturing company with ten locations across the United States.
