Over 400 participants wrapped up this year’s Citywide #Mentorship Program with ENERGY!? ?? ???? The closing ceremony, held at the City’s newly renovated Vietnamese American Community Center, kicked off with our Human Resources Deputy Director, Rashid Herd, sharing his ???career journey that aligned with the workshop’s theme of building trust and confidence, followed by a series of workshops that included: ?? A powerful “Stop Apologizing” confident communication workshop by Senior Executive Analyst Danielle Torralba? ???? Cumbia dance fitness with Deputy Director Maria De Leon, and ? ?? ?“Rock On” painting activity to reflect on their mentorship journey. ?????? Our mentors play an important role in providing support and guidance to our City employees. Statistics show that employees with mentors are twice as likely to be engaged than those who do not have a mentor (Gallup). Mentors build skills in leadership and development, and this gives both mentors and mentees the opportunity to grow.? ??? Mentorship is just one of the many professional development opportunities at the City of San José.?
