Let's Play "Mother, May I"
Suzanne Bristol As a child my friends and I would play the game Mother May I, also known sometimes as Father or Captain May I (watch video). There is nothing more inspiring then when I meet someone from our industry that loves to help others reach the captain's seat. They are confident in their abilities, humble about their steps back and they are proud when someone under them earns a promotion. Are you a mentor or desiring a mentor? This month we discuss mentorship.

May you go to work each day helping someone bring that childhood feeling back again.
