What mentees say
“I'm mentee with Chris for over 10 months now , i would say he is the best mentor i worked with, best advices i received in my transition journey was from him , he is highly experienced aware and have leadership qualities, he is deeply knowledgeable and would love to put all of his efforts and presence inside the mentorship session , i feel graduation and appreciation that i met him.”
“I really liked how honest Chris was about the job search process. He let me in on insights that I felted I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear..... that was what I wanted.”
“I received amazing mentorship from Chris. He provided so much thoughtfulness, understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. He gave more than standard, surface-level advice (although I did ask for some of that). Beyond that, he helped me understand why I felt challenged by certain things, and offered tools to overcome them. Great person and mentor; can't recommend enough.”
