What's in it for the Protégé? Want to open new doors and grow in an area you feel passionately about but maybe don't know where or how to begin, or are not 100% sure it's the right path, or just want to learn something outside a text book? If you're like 99% of the people in the world and not living your dream and looking for some guiding posts along the way, even a brief and informal mentoring relationship could provide the perspective and insight you need to make serious and tangible steps towards reaching your goals, whether professional, artistic, personal or other. See what it's actually like to do what you dream about all day, whether microbrewing or investment banking.

Sometimes 45 minutes of give and take with someone who lives and breathes an area or topic can teach you more than you've discovered on your own or at work over the last 6 months. All the great ones have had one, like Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Finding a mentor could be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. And with your profile, you can specify every detail you seek in a mentorship to make sure it's the right match. Consider becoming a Protégé.
