This special event focused on time management, goal setting, effective communication and conflict resolution.

Nicola talked about her diverse life experiences and her journey that led her professional and technical writing. She talked about the importance of being an impact player by taking initiative and adapting to change. Nicola concluded by encouraging the Mentees to foster a culture of learning, follow curiosity and see change as an opportunity.<\/p>\n
