I had my first mentor discussion last week and it went great! Ryan, the protégé (mentee), was able to quickly schedule a call based on my availability within the app, which was great as it avoided the typical three or four coordination emails, understand the topical area for discussion, and all without input beyond adding my availability. Ryan had some specific struggles in his newish BD role with which I was able to offer guidance based on similar issues I’d had in the past.
I had the pleasure of connecting with multiple college students and recent grads on a few Lattus conversations after a recent career panel and I am so glad that we could stay connected with this tool. The in person event was awesome but I was not able to talk with everybody that night. Lattus made it simple for us to follow up and keep the discussion going. I am now mentoring two of the students and another may come to work at my compnay soon!
Where have you been, Lattus??? My team and I used to send tons of emails to our members asking them how they wanted to go about mentoring each year. We sat in a room and ate take-out while we manually made matches on an excel file. Then we had to do the email introductions and most of the time people just got mad at us for taking too long. Lattus made it easy to upload our members to our private group and their matching algorithm took care of the rest; it really is a one-stop-shop for mentoring. We were able to track qaulity and metrics along the way. Lattus made our lives so much easier and we are excited to use it again for the program next year.
Lattus made it easy to connect inside our member network! I connected with Nikki to learn more about her business and gain insight and perspective to what Industrial Organizational (IO) psychology is and how it can be applied to startups. It was very interesting to hear about her journey through academia, to the federal contracting world, and how she ultimately started her company that combines her passion with a way to make money. I plan to keep in touch with her and can’t wait for the Lattus platform to enable it soon.
