What's in it for me?
- For mentees:
- Exposure to perspectives and experiences of your mentor, support for your career growth, practice in communication and interpersonal skills, and hopefully new friendships
- For mentors:
- Learning how to be a better leader, exposure to perspectives and experiences of your mentee, the chance to influence someone's career for the better, practice in communication and interpersonal skills, and also new friendships.
