“The Mentor Blog” has been pretty much dormant for the past couple of years, but I’m excited to announce that the blog is returning to active status today and our that Contributing Editor, Meaghan Nelson, will be blogging there Tuesday through Thursday of each week.  There’s a story behind this decision, so please bear with me for a moment while I share it with you.

When Broc started The Mentor Blog, it was intended to serve as a platform for advice to help readers advance their careers.  Over the years, however, it drifted away from that objective, and often just served as a place for blogs that didn’t make the cut for inclusion on this blog. That’s not exactly the kind of “value add” that we thought our members were looking for in a members-only blog, so we eventually let it go dormant.

That’s when Meaghan entered the picture. The idea of possibly bringing the Mentor Blog back entered my mind the first time I saw Meaghan’s resume. I think she’s the ideal person to provide insights to help readers manage their careers. Not only is Meaghan a super-smart person who has taken the lead on updating all of our handbooks this year, she’s also enjoyed a diverse and high-achieving legal career before joining us.

Meaghan’s worn a bunch of hats – she’s been at BigLaw firms on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, worked in-house at public companies and startups, and is now teaching law school in addition to serving on our editorial team. What’s more, she also has a young family and is dealing with the same challenges of balancing career and family that many of you are facing.

We’re really excited that Meaghan is going to be contributing her insights on the Mentor Blog, and we think you’re going to enjoy reading what she has to say. Members of TheCorporateCounsel.net should be sure to check out her first blog, which she posted this morning.  Not a member?  We can fix that – email sales@ccrcorp.com to sign up today and get access to The Mentor Blog – or sign up online.
