Topic Description (this will appear in the opt-in email and sign-up form for your engagement)

Most successful people can point at least one or more people who are key in their personal and professional growth. Mentors are there to help individuals with immediate needs related to solving pressing problems, accessing important information or learning a new skill. Mentoring is a giving/receiving relationship for everyone involved, providing both sides with opportunities to share talent, experiences and expertise.

  • Increase ability to take risks

  • Develop my project management and technical skills

  • Build my self-confidence

  • Clarify my professional career goals

  • Increase my understanding of the business area

  • Tell me about how you have grown and developed in the past year?
