What is something you learned by mentoring someone? I have learned how mentoring is such a valuable experience. I believe it is an important part of our journey as executives. I regularly mentor students and young professionals and love the experience! We have so much to offer someone we are mentoring regardless of what career path the person may be exploring – it is an informal yet real world setting that creates a safe space that mentees may not be finding elsewhere. I often reflect on and share the guidance my mentors have offered me and it is an extremely valuable experience to see mentoring come full circle.
