What: Speed Mentoring Roundtable is a WISE Within national signature event hosted each January in celebration of National Mentoring Month. This interactive event brings attendees up close and personal with industry veterans and peers to discuss professional development. It is also an opportunity for select Featured Mentors from our WISE membership to pay it forward and provide leadership and career insights to younger industry professionals.
Attendees will be divided into small groups based on area of interest and years’ experience. Each group will be seated with a Featured Mentor. A few of the confirmed mentors are listed below. The groups will discuss suggested topics and share experiences for 15-20 minutes before the mentor rotates to a new table. Topics of discussion could include work/life balance, salary and promotion negotiations, networking and first impressions, and more!

Natalie Alvarado, Houston Rockets
