I’ve been lucky to have good mentors and insights from<br />
friends and colleagues as well as being a mentor myself. As<br />
a younger person, I benefited from the experience of those<br />
older than I and always from my own group of friends and<br />
colleagues. As I get older, I benefit from the insights and ideas<br />
of younger people I’m lucky enough to work with and I hope I<br />
add a value to them from my own experiences. These shared<br />
experiences and variety of insights are what has enriched my<br />
life so much.
