[Video] The Mentorship Effect: Paying It Forward Through Data Science

If you're considering becoming a mentor, and leveraging your experience to help others navigate their careers, then you probably have a few questions about how it really works in practice.

In this conversation with some of our outstanding mentors and TAs from the Data Science for All Women's Summit, you'll hear firsthand about what's involved and the impact that these relationships have had on their personal and professional development.

During the discussion we cover important topics such as:
