Raising the Average - Finding and Managing Mentors

Presented at RVAsec 2021, Nov. 5, 2021, 9 a.m. (50 minutes).

According to Jim Rohn: “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Meaning, the people you spend the most time with are the same ones that shape you into you. You are their average. This same relationship applies when you’re referring to mentors. As the world continues to go more virtual, the nature of relationships has changed. While mentorship is essential to professional development, the times dictate you need to adjust your communication style to maintain these relationships.
