Randy Bretz – Mentoring for a New Era: A Generational Perspective
Mentoring for a New Era: A Generational Perspective
Randy will discuss why it’s important to have a mentor and how you find someone that will help guide you along the path. We’ll discuss the roles and responsibilities of the mentor and the mentee and the opportunities mentoring gives to both parties. With so much turmoil in the world today and everyone working in time-compressed situations, when would now be a good time to understand how you could raise your hand to help or be helped.
