Comments
"It was so cool to be part of the LIA Creative LIAisons Virtual Coaching program/mentorship. I loved that it connected me with young minds from around the world, each with their own different challenges, needs and dreams, and that it offered me the opportunity to guide them as they figure out their next steps - knowing that is not on me to give them the answers, but to ask the questions that help them work out for themselves what they want, beyond external expectations, and how they can get there (knowing it's not a linear path). The most serendipitous part was that one my mentees - Sofia Pereira, Creative Intern, DPZ, Sao Paulo - actually comes from my hometown, and is now doing a work experience with me to understand more strategy in a global stage. Thanks LIA for the opportunity, and I'd love to do it again!"
