LEARN. LEAD. LIFT. A PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR BUILDING MEANINGFUL PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. 

At some point in your career, something strange happens: the questions you used to ask start being asked of you. Someone wants your advice. Your perspective. Your help navigating a challenge you remember facing yourself. And suddenly you realize… wait, am I the mentor now?

But mentorship isn’t reserved for senior leaders, and it doesn’t require a formal program, a certain title, or decades of experience. We all have opportunities to learn from others, lead through our own experiences, and lift the people around us. In this interactive session, Kristina White will introduce Learn. Lead. Lift., a practical framework for building more meaningful professional relationships at every stage of your career. Whether you’re searching for a mentor, stepping into that role yourself, or doing a little of both, you’ll explore how everyday conversations can become meaningful mentoring relationships—and you’ll put those ideas into practice before you leave the room. Come ready to connect, share, and maybe discover that you have more to offer than you realized.
