This event is a platform for attendees like you to network with emerging and established leaders. Each mentor will spend 10 minutes each with 5 mentees in a riff on speed dating. The conversation is free-form. Here are some ideas / suggestions on topics / icebreakers for your conversation:

1. Can you tell me about a time when you had a difficult boss? How did you handle the situation?
2. What’s the most important leadership lesson you’ve learned and how has it proven invaluable?
3. What do you wish you had known before taking your first management role?
4. How do I prepare to be an entrepreneur (which invariably means trade-offs and sacrifices at many levels) against the comforts of a relatively steady job and also the demands of a certain quality of life? (mortgage, private schools, vacations, etc.)

We are matching you to the mentors based on your career stage and 3-5 preferences you specified. If you want to follow up with the mentors after the event, please be sure to ask their permission to connect on LinkedIn and send a personalized note reminding them about the event.

We are excited about this event and hope you are as well. We at JITO are highly interested in supporting professional development of Jains. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you should have any questions.
