The Meaning of Mentorship Series - Alex Her
How do you find a mentor, or even realize that you need one? What do you bring to your mentor, vs your boss? How do you work with a mentee effectively, so that you both benefit from the relationship? How do you know that relationship is working? In this series, we explore the rich and dynamic relationship between mentors and mentees through the stories of our TBA community members, so that you have real-world examples and takeaways as you embark on, or further develop, your own mentorship journey. Today, we kick things off with our Marketing Committee head, Alex Her (he/him)!
