[Sigia-l] Who can mentor a UX pro that's already a director?

[Chris Pallé]

First let me say, I know how you feel, but if you have the time, perhaps
*you* should find someone to mentor. :-)

Mentors get as much out of the relationship as the protegé. It might be that
you have a lot to offer someone who's just starting out and it's them who
can give you that freshness for which your looking. Sometimes pouring into
someone else is more rewarding. There's a number of places to find
mentor/protegé matchmaking including IxDA (
http://www.ixda.org/about/participate/be-mentor ), IAI (
http://iainstitute.org/en/members/mentoring/mentoring_program.php)

This actually just got me off my rear to sign up myself. :-)

HTH,
