"There are many benefits in volunteering time as a WJA Mentor! It's a great
opportunity to give back to members and help establish and nurture positive,
professional relationships, which are key to the industry's growth and success.
Plus it allows me an opportunity to practice and improve my active listening
skills and reflect on what I've achieved and the steps it took to get there."

"I signed up as a WJA Mentor because I remember how hard it was starting
all on my own and I believe in the value of supporting anyone approaching
a new adventure as a business owner. It is fulfilling to see progress with your
mentee and witness their plan unfold one step at a time during each
new session. Mentoring represents a chance to learn more inspirational
stories and do my little part in helping others believe in themselves and succeed."
