Michelle Garvey, @jcrew, on mentors asking tough questions:
I worked with a company through acquisitions, mergers, Chapter 11 and was asked: Have you considered that you may be comfortable or does this still fit you? I took a challenge, and cut my own role from payroll. #nrf2019 pic.twitter.com/OZP2WDc3yA— NRF Foundation (@NRFFoundation) January 14, 2019

.@Microsoft’s Shelley Bransten: As I get more senior and manage bigger teams, having a younger mentee is a great way to get a pulse on what’s really going on in the company. They can become your “truth-serum”. #TheGirlsLounge #nrf2019 #mentorship pic.twitter.com/n1MsuNtbv4
