WISE Within hosted the Speed Mentoring Roundtable event on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 from 6-7pm.
A special thank you to our featured mentors:
Jean Hardy, Houston Methodist, Manager of the Hospital Foundation Event Team
Julia Morales Clark, Houston Astros on AT&T SportsNet Southwest, Astros and Rockets pre and postgame shows
Melinda “Mel” Reeves, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Chief Volunteer and HR Officer
Morgan Jones, Spurs Sports & Entertainment, Senior Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Strategy
The event was virtual this year and therefore was a little different. Everyone started in the same Zoom room where Janis Burke, WISE Houston President, welcomed everyone and gave opening remarks. Then guests were moved to one of four Zoom breakout rooms that had a mentor along with one or two WISE Within committee members to assist with the flow of questions in the breakout room. Mentors were the only ones that actually moved from one breakout room to the next. Topics discussed in the breakout rooms were: Professional Development, Changing Careers, Salary Negotiation and People Managing.
After the four breakout room sessions everyone was rejoined into the main Zoom room where Janis thanked the featured mentors and the guests for their attendance.
Samantha Robison closed out the evening with her announcement of the new WISE Houston Book Club.
We look forward to the next in person Speed Mentoring Roundtable event in 2022!
