Limor Bergman-Gross, founder of LBG Consulting, a results-oriented executive coaching service for women in tech, discusses her early programming experience, including Pascal instruction in high school, her move from software engineering manager to career coach and corporate mentorship instructor and why mentors can and should come at any level on the career ladder, not just management or executive. As Limor puts it, \u201call you need in a mentor is that they be a few steps further down the path than you are.\u201d Lots of gems like that to be found today on Cyber Work.
