For most of us, when we picture a mentor, our minds go to an older, wiser colleague or friend who has decades more experience. However, I’ve found that some of my most valuable mentors have been peer mentors.

The University of Utah's UWHEN chapter members are a diverse group of women committed to helping peers connect with resources to support their professional development. Get to know us through this series of blog posts!

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED IMPOSTER SYNDROME? I spoke to a friend yesterday (one of my many peer mentors), and as I was hemming and hawing about the pros and cons of pursuing some opportunity, he stopped me and exclaimed "What is up with you and the imposter syndrome?! You're awesome and a great leader and you can do anything! I don't get it."

On January 25th, the David Eccles School of Business hosted a Women’s Workshop titled Being Assertive: Speaking Up and Being Heard on a Team. As an introverted person that does not perceive themselves as particularly assertive, I attended hoping to learn a few pieces of useful information that would help me grow as a professional.
