MPD mentorship · People & development
One-to-one guidance from an experienced MPD, backed by a personal development plan, your own Magnet Portfolio, writing templates and Academy learning.
One-to-one guidance, with tools and resources
to put your learning into practice.
Why this program exists
Franklin began as an MPD who felt underprepared. Mentorship, experience and support helped him grow into the role. He built this program to give other MPDs that guidance as they find their own way forward.
His experience spans first designation, redesignation and MPD development in the U.S. and internationally.
Your development, made visible
Start with your role, experience and goals. Together, we turn them into a 30/60/90-day development plan and work on the skills you need now.
Reassess at 90 days, then every six months. Your goals set the direction and pace.
Fictional example. Your plan reflects your own role and goals.
Included in your mentorship
Alongside your mentor and development plan, you receive a workspace in MPD Studio, writing tools and education to use in your day-to-day work.
Illustrative previews with fictional content. Your development goals guide which resources you use first.
What happens in mentorship
One focused 90-minute session each active month, with preparation, follow-up notes and email between sessions.
Before the session
Bring your current questions, recent actions and priorities. Your development plan helps focus the conversation.
During the session
Review progress, work through a current challenge and apply a skill. Leave with a clear next action.
Between sessions
Use an Academy lesson or template, organize work in your Portfolio and complete your next action. Share files and bring questions by email.
Connected to the whole program
The four areas of a Magnet program also give us a way to connect your learning to your work. We choose the priorities that matter to you.

A few useful answers
Mentorship can support new and developing MPDs, experienced MPDs, nurses entering nursing excellence roles and people preparing for those roles. We begin with your experience and goals.
Yes. CEC keeps personal mentorship private from its side; telling your organization is your choice. You can work on skills and decisions without sharing confidential hospital documents. International participants are welcome, scheduling considers time zones, and the working language is English.
For personal mentorship, additional 90-minute sessions are $100 each, subject to availability. Sessions do not roll over. Reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice; emergencies are handled case by case. Sponsored arrangements follow the agreed scope.
Your mentorship workspace holds your Starting Point, plan, goals, tasks and session records. My Magnet Portfolio helps you organize standards, writers, uploaded drafts, evidence and actions, with progress views and exports. You also have writing templates, fictional sample write-ups, Academy learning and CEC resources.
Mentorship helps you develop and organize the work. Full submission preparation, document rewriting and the wider Studio tools, including automated writing and review, are separately scoped. Mentorship does not guarantee a designation outcome.
Personal mentorship is month-to-month and you can cancel at any time. You keep read-only workspace access through your paid period and can download your goals, plans, notes and progress. CEC retains the record for 30 days after the cancellation month, then deletes it.
