Why You Should be a Mentor
Mentorship can be the difference between going far, and going farther - wherever you are in life.
The greater Microsoft community has been an invaluable asset to many of us and by developing relationships with those around us, we've been able to receive guidance and support to reach our professional goals. On the other side, giving back via mentorship can be an incredibly rewarding experience.
This session will provide guidance for aspiring (or aspiring curious) mentors on why mentorship is important, the keys to successful relationships, navigating the challenges of said relationships, and personal anecdotes from the presenters who started where you are today.
