Mentoring Objectives & Scope

I would like to mentor students to help them understand what their career options are, help them understand what their passions are, and to help align their decisions/activities accordingly. I can speak in detail about consulting and multiple industries.

My only expectations are that my mentees be: 
1. truly invested in themselves,
2. willing to work hard to achieve their goals, and
3. life-long-learners.

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?

A mixture of in-person and virtual. I can meet early mornings, mid-day, or evenings, I am flexible on locations, and can meet in Seattle or anywhere on the east side.
