Once upon a time I was an F-16 gunrunner at the Embassy in Egypt

What a great group, thank you all for volunteering your time and your experience! I have to log off but will look forward to following the progress.

Dan stole my answer.

How often do you recommend meeting your mentors/mentees and also do they need to be sharing the same discipline?

Specifics for the Mentoring on AIAA, do you have any tips on sifting through the mentee applicants? I want to help a lot of people but have had to limit to 3 mentees in 6month sessions.

We will send out the recording on Monday for anyone who has missed any of today's discussion! 🙂

Monica, that is a great approach.

Are there only technical or engineering mentors or do the mentors fall in many fields within Aerospace?

Sometimes, the mentee exhausts the knowledge of the mentor

Carlos, I use the "let's take a walk" approach as well with my engineers at work. Very effective.

I love that!

Is it OK to remind the mentee that my answers are my opinion, and are NOT absolute knowledge?

@Thomas Robbins, absolutely.

Yes! that has been fixed.

That mentee interface/mark relationship complete has messed me up once as well.

Is it just me or does "mentee" seem like an odd word? How about we use Padawan?

Go for it Allen! I agree with the word being odd.

"I wonder if doing XYZ or ABC would work better?" instead of simply telling someone what to do. (While offering examples as well!)

Unfortunately I have to drop for another meeting. Thanks for this session! I enjoyed the discussion and learned a lot.

Thank you Matt! Will send out the recording on Monday!

"We need to talk." 😄

No grey in my beard!
