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

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.<br><br><b>Joanne Kamens</b>
