Join us on November 20th at 6:30 PM at KMFA for an insightful discussion about the transformative power of mentorship. Sara Foskitt, like many of our members, moved to Austin as a young adult and knew zero people in Austin. As a real estate attorney, Sara learned how to find her own mentors and later started a Mentor program in her industry, the model of which is still being used in that industry today. During this engaging session, you'll learn how to: 1. Find the Right Mentor: Discover effective strategies for identifying and approaching potential mentors in your field. 2. Make the Most of Mentorship: Gain tips on how to cultivate a productive mentoring relationship and maximize your learning experience. 3. Reap the Benefits: Explore the various advantages mentorship offers, from career advancement to personal growth. Whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your career, this event is perfect for anyone eager to enhance their journey through mentorship. Don’t miss this chance to connect, learn, and grow! https://lnkd.in/gwa4VJuC
