    Want a mentor? Want to be a mentor? Mentors are a special, valuable and a unique part of your professional network. Sometimes they appear naturally and other times you need to seek one out for a particular goal you have or skill you want to acquire.

    *What makes a mentor different from a leader.

    *Why mentors are so valuable.

    *What mentors are and are not.

    *Stories of our own mentors.

    *How knowing your strengths and weaknesses play into mentorship.

    *What to consider before seeking out a mentor.
