If you subscribe to our mailing list here, you know we are doing a survey this week to help with planning future topics. As I read the great comments that have been made, I was struck by how much we as a group like to share and mentor each other. Our group is pretty evenly divided among the groups I identified, from students to those with more than 20 years of experience, although interestingly no one so far has been in the group with 6-10 years of experience.

Today I went to see the movie “Switch” with my niece. It was a nice cool day to get out of the house and just do something that would be fun, hopefully make us laugh, and spend some time together. After this week’s discussion about connections, imagine my surprise when the movie started out by talking about how we are all so busy that we often don’t take the time to connect with others! It seemed to be the topic of the week.

Today I want you to be a mentor. Nobody is exempt here as each of you has something to share, no matter what your years of experience may be. For this Fun Friday activity, think of what ONE tip you would give to someone in this profession. Here’s the key: You pick the person (meaning it doesn’t have to be a newbie, but it can be), and share your very best tip for success in this profession.

If you are on the coast where these hurricanes are headed, do stay safe. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Again, everyone has something to add here. So give it some thought and let’s hear what your one best tip will be! I will look forward to reading these!
