On Thursday, March 26, 2009, my mentors, Leslie Monson and Erin Berning, invited us to Erin's house in Lakeview. We did not visit any businesses during this mentor meeting. Since we did not visit any businesses we did not observe the employees or the operations and learn how they made money. We also did not meet any new leaders at that mentor meeting. At our mentor meeting we did learn new things we can take into the workplace. We cooked dinner and dessert and we had to COMMUNICATE. All the mentorees had different backgrounds in cooking. We really had to communicate and work together to make the meal a success. We had a leader, Sasha, to help us in anyway we needed.
After we made dinner and dessert, we sat around a big table and talked about everything. We talked about business and our future jobs. We also talked about getting internships. After we talked, we voted on the "Best Communicator". We all voted for Alex who was very organized and helpful. Even though she never cooked before, she was great!
We did not get any advice from a CEO or manager, but we did get advice from Leslie and Erin. They told us that we should have use our strong communication skills when working with a group. They also told us that we should start doing internships now.
Lislie Monson and Erin Berning were the best mentors ever! they are awesome role models for us to look up to. I will definately keep in touch with them and someday use them for networking.
P.S. Erin's house was adorable. She should definately go into interior design.
