What’s the most important aspect of mentoring?

I think the most important aspects of mentoring are listening carefully, being genuinely open to feedback, setting clear action plans and following through.

What/who inspires you at work? What/who inspires you outside the office?

What inspires me both inside and outside of work are quiet heroes– those individuals who overcome obstacles and perform extraordinary actions that advance themselves and the team forward every day.

Favorite trick for unwinding?

Yoga and wine (though probably not together).
