FROM JANET T. PHAN
What’s the Right Way to Find a Mentor?
In the summer of 2004, I was 18 years old, preparing for my first year of college and looking for ways to fund my education. I was working double shifts at KFC and late nights at Hollywood Video, and yet, one day, I found myself at a gas station without enough money to fill up my tank.
I made a promise to myself to do whatever it would take to never be in this situation again: one where I was living from paycheck to paycheck, working multiple jobs, and couch surfing to save money on rent. Working harder — in my case, 12-hour days — wasn’t getting me anywhere, but I knew that working smarter could. As the child of refugee parents from Vietnam, I didn’t have anyone at home who understood how to navigate the American school system or workforce. I knew I needed help, someone to guide me.
A good mentor can make a huge imprint on your life, and it is thanks to not one, but many, that I was able to grow from that woman stuck at the gas station into who I am now.

How well do you know your team?
1 truth 2 lies is a simple icebreaker to do and creates healthy banter.
Here’s how to play:
- Team members populate a total of three sticky notes with 2 lies and 1 truth.
- Once completed, everyone uses dots to vote for the one they think is the truth.
- Do a round-robin where each person gets to share verbally what the correct “truth” sticky was.
This icebreaker is really easy, quick and fun, and is a great way to energize your team before starting a meeting.

PETS OF THE WEEK
Chuck
Friends call him Chuck, but the Amazon delivery person can call him Charles Barkley.
Chuck is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi with his foxy little tail still in place. He enjoys barking when he’s happy, barking when he’s unhappy, and barking if you get too happy.
His favorite toys are his snake made out of fire hose, and his Jolly Ball. He barks at that, too.
His mortal enemy is a paper towel tube that his humans make weird sounds into. He’s a sweet little guy, but the side-eye will make you seriously self conscious.
His sleepy cuddles are the best.
