NACA Mentoring program held its 2nd Group Session for Class of 2014

NACA Mentoring Program held its second group session for class of 2014 on June 26,2014 at the office of Greenberg Traurig LLP in Buckhead.

“Networking” was the main theme for the Group Session . The Group session provides the opportunity for our mentees to interact, network, and learn from Panel discussion speakers and NACA mentors. About 20 people attended the session which included 8 mentees and young professionals, 4 mentors and the Panel speakers. NACA Advisor Jung Mar, and Board member Liwei Rue also attended the event. Henry Yu, NACA Advisor and Mentor moderated the session with the following distinguished speakers:

Ann Cramer, Senior Consultant, Coxe Curry & Associates

Jeff Smith, Principal Shareholder, Greenberg Traurig LLP

Lani Wong, NACA Chair

In addition to sharing their networking experiences, the Dos and Don’ts, our speakers also touched upon how to manage you boss and your peers, and navigate in the Corporate world. Key issues that mentees need to be familiar with include some of the following:

  • First impress is very important and last forever
  • Networking is life-long and enjoys what you do with Passion, commitment and helping others
  • It is alignment, keeping promises, and growing and managing relationships, earning trust and with purposes and intention, encompassing business, social, family and volunteered activities
  • Do things not popular-think outside of the Box, and differentiate yourself from others
  • Importance of time and energy management allowing us to efficiently devote time for networking and volunteered services that mentees can pick up soft skills, and learn from others
  • To offer help to others-What can I do for you?
  • To anticipate what others need, and be proactive in reaching out to help others achieve their goals too

After the panel discussion, the group spent time getting to know one another and our speakers shared first hand experiences on career issues, success and failure stories, etc.
