SPEED MENTORING It's okay to ask

Speed Mentoring How does it work?

Have a burning question that falls outside the cerebral debates and theoretical thinking of the Forum? Are you craving targeted, insightful guidance about the complex workings of your career path from someone who’s been there and succeeded in exceptional ways? 

Join the Speed Mentoring space by clicking to the right - you will be automatically matched with someone else online for 7 minutes! 

Introduce yourself, state whether you are looking for mentorship or to serve as a mentor, and begin the discussion. If you are matched with someone in your same category, we encourage you to continue the conversation and practice your pitch as peer-to-peer mentorship is highly valuable too!
