4. Key Take-Away Messages
§ Mentoring is a relationship and can take on many different forms and can be informal and formal.
Listen actively, be proactive, find the communication channel and time that works best for you both.
Prepare and be clear about what you’d like to achieve from your relationship – it’s what you want to make out of it!
§ If looking to change from another career, don’t be afraid to identify and bring strengths that you already have in your existing career!
Pursue BA certifications to start to improve familiarities with tools, knowledge and terminology in the BA space
§ Don't be afraid to approach people within and outside of your network
And remember…
§ Many paths lead to the same destination
§ Embrace your own unique journey
§ Start where you are!
