I agree with yout. They are extremely capable, ethical, knowledgable and have character to be emulated. You are fortunate and even your public acknowledgement of appreciation shows that you have learned well from them. I know some of your mentors personally. I agree with yout.

It's a nice idea to thank the people who helped - even if it is a just a few years later! :) I never had a formal mentor either – but I had lots of interesting and helpful experiences along the way.

However, if the person i'm observing is not open or receptive, the road map is pretty much blocked and not for shared! and unfortunately, i have encountered a few of those =( Jennifer,

Yes, it's changed-- for the better, I hope! I encourage you to widen your thinking about what "mentor" means. The standard definition is a person who actively takes you under his/her wing. Those people are invaluable. If you broaden your definition and "pay attention"-- to those who are effective and those who are not, you'll get a great (free!) roadmap. Then, you layer on your personal goals and style to make it your own. Thuy,

I like the new look! Unfortnately, up to this point, I only have one mentor that I met through our local SHRM chapter. She's great! Hopefully, I'll get the chance to encounter more...
