At UX Brighton's Mentorship Launch (12 July 2022), Jessica Squires (Lead UX Architect) talks about getting into mentoring, empowerment, setting boundaries, common ground and self-care. Programme notes she mentors inside and outside work and helps people expand knowledge or switch careers. From the talk: mentoring can be formal or informal and need not be workplace-based; she recommends UX Brighton's speed-matching event; she describes sharing coping mechanisms with a dyslexic mentee and notes shared neurodiversity and lived experience; she includes work-life balance among workplace boundaries and makes self-care part of the mentoring journey.
