Aneesa Muthana, President & Co-Owner of Pioneer Service
, will address the concept of creating a small, unofficial "personal board of directors" – a shortlist of trustworthy people who can act as advisors and a sounding board.

JANUARY MENTOR/MENTEE TIP
Relationship building is the key to success in our professional lives. Spending time out-and-about networking, at volunteer events or social events, is a great way to make connections with other professionals in a more natural way and often leads to newly-formed friendships. Finding and staying in touch with a group of like-minded professionals is the best way to build strong relationships where everyone is supported. As a group that incorporates mutual respect, support, and constructive feedback, our “squad” can become a team of mentors that provide varying opinions and point of views, pride, and investment in our achievement.
