We all hear the buzzword  "mentoring" in relation to career success, but
most of us don't know how to look for a strong mentor or how to use one
effectively once we have found one. How can you maximize your mentoring
relationship with your supervisor? How can you go about finding and
benefiting from additional mentors? This presentation offers practical
advice on building and maximizing mentoring relationships, and is relevant
for those on both sides of a mentoring relationship.
