As a program seeking to elevate founders from diverse backgrounds\, we are frequently matching entrepreneurs to mentors who are significantly different from themselves.\n\n\n\nIn this interactive presentation we will discuss how to bridge differences to be a better mentor and strategies to receive better mentoring from your own mentors. \n\n\n\nCALL TO ACTION: \n\nOne of the Business Women's Forum goals is to influence positive change in our community.
