DESCRIPTION
This is my first Ignite talk. I gave it on Informal Mentoring on June 5, 2012 at the UPA2012 conference in Las Vegas, NV.TRANSCRIPT
What do I know?๏ Had some great mentors
๏ Been a mentor
๏ Mentoring is in my blood
It doesn’t have to be formal
It can be informal
It’s a Relationship
It needs work like a garden…
…to look like a garden
It takes someone to start it๏ Seek out someone
๏ Ask for advice
๏ Don’t be afraid
