Great question! I’m highly interested in this too. Would love a mentor and haven’t been in any position to “fall into one” in past jobs.

I’d be happy to provide anyone guidance. I’ve been in the industry for 24 years. Started as an account person for a short stint and then switched to PM exclusively. I think mentoring is a vital role of leaders in any industry.

Hi All- I’m looking for a super simple time tracking platform to integrate with Asana for a team of 5. All we need it for is to see how much time is going into different projects that our department is managing. That’s it.
