Mentorship has long been an important part of bringing people into the operations and reliability space, especially people early in their careers, due to the relative lack of formal training available in these fields. However, being a good mentor is not always easy—and the pandemic, with many of us moving to remote work for the long term, has made it even more difficult. This talk will discuss strategies you can use to be a more effective mentor, even in a remote work setting.
