MyMentor session really caused me a lot of self reflection. I think i got as much out of it as the mentee.

Additional Support & Perspective
It can be hard to reach out to people at my own organization, and my NRMN mentor has a great grasp on what information i need to be soliciting and she encourages me to reach out.

Commitment
I used my network to put my mentee in contact with people who may help her along the next steps in her career. We still e-mail each other once a month to check in and see how things are going.
