Women's Biz Forum Panel Focuses on Mentoring
What is the real key to professional success for women? Surprisingly, it is not the proverbial “seat at the table,” nor is it the figurative key to the executive washroom. The most critical factor affecting a woman’s career could be the personal relationships she develops with others along the way.
So say members of “Wisdom for Women Guiding Women,” a panel convened to discuss the topic of mentoring at the Sixth Annual Women’s Business Forum, presented by the Burlington County Chamber of Commerce. Slated for Thursday, June 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Mansion in Voorhees, the Women’s Business Forum will include exhibits, a luncheon and workshops and panel discussions on various subjects, all designed to help women accelerate their careers through networking and knowledge.
Mentoring panel member Renee C. Vidal, a shareholder at Flaster/Greenberg, says, “I think that women sometimes are reluctant to ask for help, in any area of their lives, including in their careers. One of the messages I hope to convey is that, asking for help via a mentor, does not mean ‘weak’ or ‘ineffective.’ It’s absolutely one of the smartest things any woman can do.”
Panel member Rachel E. Licausi, an attorney at Flaster/Greenberg, agrees. She has had mentors for years and expects to mentor others as her career progresses. “Being mentored has been a valuable and rewarding experience for me. I think it is one of the ways that women can create opportunities for each other.”
Ms. Vidal focuses her practice on estate and tax planning, estate administration, business and corporate services and elder law. Ms. Licausi is a member of the Litigation Group and Family Law practice, and focuses on dispute resolution for corporate entities as well as individuals.
