Lunching Outside the Box- Mentorship: Connect. Grow. Lead.
Being a leader is difficult, especially alone. That is why all great leaders have mentors and serve as mentors because while success may seem incredibly competitive, in reality, it's a team effort. Mentors provide wisdom, encouragement, stimulate our personal and professional growth, serve as confidants, and even occasionally give necessary tough love. Join us for EPIC's November Lunching Outside the Box as our panel of experienced professionals explore the ins, outs, and the how-tos of mentorship. The panel will include:
- Amanda Wooden - Director of Sales for Manor Roofing & Restoration Services
- Michele Batye - Owner and President of Dave Griggs' Flooring America
- Janice Schuerman - Retired Senior Vice President of Corporate Services Corporate Secretary with MFA Incorporated, now Owner and Operator of Chapel View Stables
