Question for senior female bosses. I have an opportunity to network with a senior woman across the pond - what, from your perspective, makes for a good mentor/mentee relationship? My only female mentor is my direct boss and my other mentors are senior men that I’ve known for years and have a relaxed / friendly relationship with.

I really want to get the most out of this but haven’t built a formal relationship with a senior woman before (particularly with a culture difference)

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site.

I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?

Bit of an odd situation. Recently started reporting to the COO of a company we acquired. She’s still trying to figure out the politics and doesn’t know how to navigate leadership yet. She had me put together a deck under short notice so she could present in the exec meeting today. My old boss would invite me in for the part of the discussion that was relevant to me but new boss just setup time for us after. Also inefficient. Feel like a junior again.
