Mentorship: Fueling Growth in the Travel Advisor Community New findings from TravelAge West reveal that over half of travel advisors have benefited from mentorship. Jackie Friedman, President of Nexion Travel Group, shares that a successful mentorship begins with setting clear goals. For advisors without mentors, she suggests checking with ASTA, host agencies, or online communities to find mentors who align with their ambitions. According to Jackie, mentorship isn’t just about business – it’s about building a network of trust and support. If mentorship has been a part of your journey, what impact has it had? #TravelAgeWest #NexionTravelGroup #JackieFriedman #Mentorship #ProfessionalDevelopment
