Notable Episode Quotes:

“If you understand why you’re doing something, how you do it will come… If you can sell it and do it with conviction, you’re set." - Emily McKie   “A mentoring relationship is not sycophantic. You don’t have to agree and slavishly follow everything, however, it gives you that perspective – those different perspectives." -Michelle Redfern   “One of the myths I want to bust [around mentoring] is that you have to form this bosom buddies, symbiotic, chemistry laden, 25 year relationship that’s just going to be amazing… It won’t always be like that. Sometimes it’s short and sharp and mutually beneficial..” -Michelle Redfern
