CBS Mentoring Programme (Panel content)

Mentoring strengthens my interpersonal skills
“ Being a mentor offers not only how to gain an understanding of mentoring techniques of a group of mentees versus a single mentee, but it also strengthens interpersonal skills, how to consult on careers and how to enhance the mentee's self-awareness with what they are really passionate about. ” Matilde Munk Lantto
Corporate Brand Manager, Pandora
