(AMASV) Mentorship as a foundational stepping stone in the lives of our youth

In January AMASV dove into professional development, learning from career coach Amii Barnard-Bahn about her Promotability Index- highlighting five key areas to focus on to advance one’s career. One important area of focus was the relationships developed while building one’s career. The foundation of mentorship in a person’s life is the bond they establish with an individual who can offer them support where they need it, and guidance towards success in their future endeavors. The benefits of a relationship such as this can last a lifetime on the part of the mentor and the mentee. In this blog post we will explore different approaches to mentorship and hear from successful mentors in the Sacramento area to learn about elements of a successful mentor relationship. Whether seeking a mentor or looking to give back to the community there are important learnings that can be gleaned from mentorship, and we feel that mentoring is an important part of professional development.
