The conversation covers the mentoring program's start and the results from its first multi-year study: mentors and mentees profiles, categories, and feedback, and expected program improvements based on lessons learned. Additionally, our guest also share their career insights."Technology is gonna change. We've seen it change a lot in our lives. And, it's going to continue to do so. And so it's important to know how to learn new technical skills, but the focus of the mentoring oftentimes needs to be more on the strategy. So that's my favorite part of mentoring, is really helping people step back: look at where they are, and think strategically about where they wanna go, and a plan that fits who they are at that point in time." - Erika Lunceford.Guest InfoLinkedIn: Deborah SgroLinkedIn: Erika LuncefordSupport the showHey There!
