Dear Dennie,
Given all that’s happening these days, aren’t mentoring and networking lower priorities?
Other things on my mind
Dear OTomm,
Shelter, food, health, friends and family… those are just the beginnings of our top 10 lists these days. Work is also top of mind: figuring out new technologies; new ways of teaming; reprioritizing our efforts; or acknowledging loss and uncertainty.
Mentoring isn’t something that happens just when we have time. Mentoring relationships are the safe place to explore the tough questions about our changing workplace. There is no better time than now to talk it through with people whose opinions we value.
Networking is simply another word for building community. We need our communities these weeks and days more than ever. Connecting (email, calls, video, etc.) in this time of social isolation is necessary for everyone who is worried or wondering. Deepening existing connections is as important as building new ones. Offering our friends and coworkers our attention and support is how many of us will come through this.
Connection is always part of our survival tool kit.
Now, ask me anything.... :-)
