Insights on Mentorship
Our Client Engagement Specialist, Connor Sweeney, had an enlightening conversation with Karin Bonev, Senior VP at Dix & Eaton, during YP Week on the topic of mentorship. When asked what qualities mentors seek in their mentees. Karin emphasized the significance of “curiosity and commitment to one’s career.”
Connecting with Cleveland’s Top Leaders
Amber Reed, our Staffing Specialist, shared her thoughts with us on attending the Lunch with Leaders Panel where she got to hear from top Cleveland leader, Ronn Richard, President of The Cleveland Foundation.
“Lunch with Leaders was a valuable experience! Engage! Cleveland was so welcoming (as always). It was great to network with other young professionals, and hearing from a speaker deeply entwined in Cleveland’s culture really made me examine my civic responsibilities on a new level.”?– Amber Reed
Professional Headshots
Being a young professional myself, I can personally vouch for the immense value of the professional headshots offered during Young Professionals Week. Like many of us, there were members in our team who were seeking updated headshots. Engage! Cleveland effortlessly provides an excellent opportunity to enhance your LinkedIn profile with quick, affordable, and top-notch professional headshots.
