Capital Ideas Edmonton and "How do you make mentorship work for you?"

I really enjoyed my front-row seat at the Capital Ideas Edmonton event in May of 2014 when the topic was, "How do you make mentorship work for you?"  Here's the photo I took just as the discussion was getting underway!




Seen above is Karen Unland from Capital Ideas (left to right) with panel members Kristina Milke of K-GAR Consulting Inc. and VA Angels; Dan Duckering of DEXIO Inc. and Ray Muzyka of Threshold Impact and UAlberta Venture Mentoring Service.

There was a lot of great information, tips and suggestions that came forward as panel members shared their experiences with mentorship and how we can make the most of it. 

Here’s a quick overview of the facilitated questions that were put to the panel:

  • Why do you mentor?
  • How do you select who you mentor?
  • What are the differences between mentoring entrepreneurs and employees?
  • What is the best lesson you've learned from a mentorship relationship?
  • How do you set boundaries with who you mentor?
  • How do you deal with impostor syndrome?
If you’d like to hear the responses that the panel members provided, my friends at Capital Ideas Edmonton have provided the highlights from the panel in tweets, photos and video clips that can be seen at the following URL link.  CLICK HERE




AND if you'd like to provide your comments regarding any of the questions listed above, please add your remarks to to this post so we can share them with others.
