Episode Synopsis

Yes, we're fundamentally accountable and responsible for our own technology career. BUT what if we need knowledge that we can't google? What if we're uncertain about which career path to take in this economic rececession? What if our own fear blocks us from moving forward after being impacted by a mess layoff? In these and in numerous other scenarios, all of us, without exception, need the feeling of having a support network and at the same time, being a support network to someone else.

In this episode, I'll be introducing you to the concepts of coaches, mentors, role models and sponsors and the differences between them. Furthermore, I'll be sharing real-life examples on these, particularly how you can find any of them for yourself and how you can any of them for others - the cycle of giving and receiving.
