Telemachus, Luke Skywalker, Bobby Fisher: the value of being well mentored

Conference in French

It is no longer news that linear careers are becoming increasingly rare. We must constantly reinvent ourselves, and even retrain, during our professional lives. A daily odyssey, sometimes full of pitfalls, frustrations and doubts, but also of encounters that are as determining as they are virtuous.

For a person in transition in the tech industry, mentoring proves to be an invaluable tool to face the challenges and obstacles on their way.

Throughout the presentation, through a comparison of the journeys of three iconic characters - Telemachus, Luke Skywalker and Bobby Fisher - I will propose a study of modern mentoring practices that I have been fortunate to receive.

At the end of this conference, we will have seen that mentoring is a crucial part of everyone's personal and professional development, whether through formal mentoring programs or informal relationships.

Also, through my feedback, I will share how to seek out and cultivate mentoring relationships, as well as the positive impact it has had and continues to have on my new journey.
