My work history is a family size business where there's no mentor. Now, I'm working in a mid-size company but still haven't seen any mentoring program being offered as well. Thanks for the link, I'm going to propose this idea to my boss and see how it goes. I always enjoy reading (and learning from) your blog!

She was instrumental in forming over 10 years ago the foundation that informs my methods to this day. The second person that pops to my mind is Barbara Carkenord, who has been flogging me (think beef hanging in a freezer) to hone my business analysis skills since day 1 at B2T Training. This underscores the whole focus of B2T Training, which is mentor-led. Clearly, the people who lead the training classes are mentors at heart. I have two people who stand out as mentors in my life:
