Presenter: Daniele Thibodeau, DTM from Speaking from Experience Advanced Toastmasters Club
Workshop Description: Mentoring people provides insight to others and satisfaction to yourself. It is critical for personal growth. Yet most members have no idea how to mentor, or worse fear “telling” others what to do. The new Pathways program describes a mentoring approach you can easily adapt. Learn the basics of mentoring and gain practical experience in Level 2.
