A Mentoring Circle is a group of participants that meets for the purpose of discussing careers and professional development topics.\u00a0 Participants simultaneously act both as mentors and mentees as they exchange experiences, challenges, opportunities, and advice for the purpose of enhancing self-confidence, communication skills, leadership practices, and commitment to one\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
