Yay WISE breakfast went well! The success makes the frustrating planning process worth it. 

I talked to two reps from MaRS, whom both offered very good, and relevant advice. One is about keeping your options open,especially when looking for new opportunities. Second is to ask potential mentors for advice, instead of straight up asking for a mentorship (is this like you ask someone out on a date instead asking them to be your boy/girlfriend?). Third is to have clearly defined mission and vision (I always thought this was such a chore and was just for looks) to refer to when conflicts arise within a team. Remind the team members to look beyond the current anger/frustration and remember the goal that they signed up for.

The last point is so true, convinced me to more likely stay with WISE next year.
