This review is from: Be Your Own Mentor (Briefcase Books) (Paperback)

The author of this book is clearly writing from experience. She reminds us that the successful approach to becoming your own mentor is an integrative one-involving not only business, but heart and soul as well. I am skeptical of any quick fix book, and this book is not that. It is about knowing yourself and creating the best version of you. I truly enjoyed reading it, and will pass it on.
