Kirstin on Fullback and Friends: Whether you are in the process of organising your future career following on from graduation, organising a placement, internship, or extra-curricular work experience or thinking about the next steps in your career having a supportive network of individuals that can support, motivate and provide useful advice and guidance is key.  I would describe myself as a mentor, but then I can also identify with the role of a connector as well, and would say that this merges into my mentoring work.  I also like to think that I am able to motivate individuals and get them to see what they are more than capable to achieve, and highlight there achievements, skills and strengths that they may take for granted.  https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-5-people-you-need-in-your-professional-life
