After
last year’s amazing success of the students in DECA competition, I am
truly committed to the International Telementor Program (ITP). Even
though my students are really capable and committed to the projects they
work on, the mentor expertise in the business world brings them a
perspective they cannot get anywhere else at this point in their lives.

My
oldest son, Kyle, is learning the value of networking. He graduated
with a bachelor’s degree two years ago and has struggled since then to
find a “real” job. His world is beginning to change, however. After
serving on a panel moderated by the director of
AOL Jobs,
he’s now blogging for that online resource and receiving advice from
noteworthy career coaches and others. Their recommendations include
seeking out a mentor and emphasize the importance of building a
professional network. While these strategies aren’t new to Kyle given
that his mom works for ITP, which is all about mentoring and building
professional networks, I believe hearing this wisdom from outside
sources increases its value.
