Question: What can I expect when attending a YP Meetup?

Answer: Our virtual meetups are informal, our discussions are open. The hour goes fast! Topics include career development, real work challenges; and of course, all things marketing. Generally, our sessions are facilitated by a connected marketing professional with deep experience in the topic of the day- Angela Connor is just that.

Our topic for 4/28: Building Your Personal Board

Your Squad of Cheerleaders, Advisors, Mentors, and Advocates

We’ll start the conversation with these Questions:

How do I find a mentor?
Mentor vs. sponsor, what’s the difference, and which is “better”?
Give to get— how to make mentorship a two-way street?
Is it better to have a mentor inside or outside my company?
When you WFH, how do you stand out?
What’s a career development plan? Who can help me get started with this?
