Adventures in Learning
Here is Craig Murray’s (http://www.phoenix-training.co.uk) guest post. I thought it was an interesting infographic on mentoring.

Booked for Mentoring
The setting for The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is in France and England in 1792 during the French Revolution. France was radically transformed during the Revolution, the monarchy fell, the aristocrats lost their privileges, and the peasants rebelled in masses. On top of that, the left-wing political groups assaulted the aristocrats. All this form the backdrop for the story.

Wisdom of Life Profile
Maggie Lena Walker was the first female bank president in the United States. She used her economic and social position to make the lives better for other women. Walker urged women to better themselves educationally and financially and encouraged them to save a portion of their pay. “A Richmond Times Dispatchnews article of August 23, 1924, reports that “the $31 that was placed in her hands has grown until the order has collected $3,480,540.19.”

Interviews for Mentoring
This week we featured senior level retail executive Jo Ann Langer. A big message from Langer is to keep moving forward. Do not waste too much time looking backwards at history because you’ll get stuck. Here are Part One and Part Two of Jo Ann Langer’s interview.
