People are the best investment you can make. I enjoy connecting with others and learning new perspectives… I’m excited to participate in the Peer Mentoring Circles where we can share ideas, exchange perspectives and empower each other.
BDO Celebrates National Mentoring Month
[Mentors] can fill in knowledge gaps and offer different perspectives. When you’re learning early in your career, you realize experience takes a long time to acquire; but you can accelerate it when somebody gives you direction and shows their support.
Peer Mentoring Circles give BDO professionals a space to chat with each other in confidence, respectfully share their ideas and listen without judgement… Peer mentoring is not defined by your title or experience, but rather creating connections through respect, openness and collaboration. It helped that everyone who participated was coming from a place of curiosity and willingness to be vulnerable around others.
As a mentor, you have the opportunity to give someone space to feel seen and heard… Empowerment gives others a reason to try harder.
I’m grateful for the Peer Mentoring Circles because, otherwise, I would not have met these great professionals. It was an opportunity to learn about different cultures, compare experiences and help each other navigate the corporate environment.
