Share: Mentoring Ideas and Books

As we enter into the height of summer, here are a few ideas to keep the mentoring relationship fresh:

• Delve into the interactive/digital landscape
• Discuss general industry trends
• Review specific trade articles of interest
• Initiate a job shadowing experience
• Critique movies and books
• Join a book club
• Research a relevant industry topic together
• Launch a baking exchange/soup exchange/cookie exchange
• Attend AWNY event together
• Create a mini-resume workshop
• Get together with other mentoring pairs for an outing/group discussion
• Meet for a speed tutoring session i.e., public speaking, Adobe Photoshop

If you are interested in discussing a shared resource, download a list of recommended books that you may find engaging.

Happy Summer!
