NAWBO Conference: Mentoring for Growth

San Antonio

Sunday, September 27, 2015
3:45 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

A survey of professional women reveals that nearly 1 in 5 have never had a mentor—which is surprising considering the powerful benefits of both being mentored and serving as a mentor, from improved communication and leadership, to increased connections, to new growth opportunities. Hear from a panel of experts about their experiences with mentoring, how to find or be a great one, the benefits and making sure the relationship is a win-win. Also, hear about a new online community for NAWBO members to connect for networking, advice and much more!
