Thom Singer shares his ideas around this important topic for young professionals and others.
Thom Singer is a professional speaker who often talks at Next Generation Business Events and Young Professional Conferences. The most popular thing that audiences want to have more information about is how to really find a mentor. Millennial audiences are interested in this topic, and many seek out mentors immediately after participating in this program.
Companies and associations who want to create mentoring program that works turn to Thom Singer, as he has first hand experience in the realities of cross generational and peer-to-peer networking and the creation of long-term mentoring relationships. There is no magic answer to finding a mentor, and you cannot simply assign people to work together. This is a complicated issue of creating long-term and mutually beneficial relationships.
