Comments

“I dare say that a variety of mentors and coaches have taught me more throughout my career than any ‘formal’ training ever could. There is nothing like a one-on-one conversation between mentor and mentee to really help us understand how and why we can do what we do better. In my case, most of these opportunities happened by chance or through serendipity - I think it’s a very thoughtful initiative by LIA to institutionalize such mentorship.”
