13. What
do if
you
are
fired.
Don’t resort to
cannibalism. Get
your act together,
and re-apply
yourself. Learn
from your
mistake(s).
14. A quick overview of
why I mentor.
Other’s helped me out when I was younger. Perhaps not this young,
when someone could have helped me out with a barber.
15. I went to Haverford.
These
people look
like they are
relaxing and
talking.
They are
actually
arguing,
nicely. It was
built into the
culture.
16. Someone took me
under their wing.
Soma Golden-Behr, who didn’t know me from a hole in the wall, talked
me out of my direct style, which was abrasive.
17. I learned how to
speak diplomatically
and how to convey my
point of view in a
digestible manner.
Most of the time.
18. Is a mentor right
for you?
Are Levain Bakery cookies right for you? Yes,
depending on the time. Mentoring is the same.
If you want to be efficient, save time, and be
proactive about your career, I can’t think of a
better way to do it.
19. How do
you find
mentors?
Ask people who show an interest in you.
Ask your friends who already have mentors.
20. Getting a mentor is the
best way to navigate
the shoals of work.
If you don’t do it, your
co-workers are.
Supervisors sometimes
can be mentors.
21. Mentoring is a great
way for you to help
others, for the sole
benefit of helping
others.
Thank you. I am here all week. Tell your friends. @tyahma
