Welcoming professionals, delicious shrimp cocktails, and the Chemists' Club's traditional eggnog filled the networking event in a welcoming holiday spirit.
Panel on Mentorship & Building a Professional Persona
How do you become a mentee? What makes a good mentorship? Why do we need to care about Mentor-Mentee relationships? These questions and more were answered by active professional mentors, Michael Didonato (Philips 66), Stefanie Stewart (formerly Brenntag), and Jeff Kenton (Acme-Hardesty).
Lessons to be learned ...
"Mentorship occurs naturally. It's an organic thing, and you'll feel it when a potential mentor comes along." - Michael Didonato
"Know your worth, be patient, and believe in yourself." - Stefanie Stewart
"It's important to learn about what you don't know and to think about what you want to know to make the most out of your mentor relationship." - Jeff Kenton
