This Subway Can't Make Your Commute Less Annoying, But Promises to Make It Shorter
 

Imagine this: A boy scout troop joins your subway car, popping open lunches full of eggs and tuna sandwiches. How quickly would you want your ride to be over? In New York, there's a good chance the next half hour or hour(s) of your life will be miserable. In Copenhagen, you'll be free of this odoriferous hellscape in minutes. These new spots from agency Hjaltelin Stahl remind us of that simple fact.

Adweek Executive Mentor Program
 

Interested in learning from some of the brightest minds in marketing like the Female Quotient CEO Shelley Zalis, Viacom head of ad solutions Sean Moran and Target CMO Rick Gomez? Apply to be a mentee today.

Kristin Patrick, CMO of PepsiCo brand development, on mentoring women

I really go out of my way to make sure that I'm mentoring women and putting them at the forefront. I'm really interested in [supporting] young women in particular. As of late I’ve been hiring a lot of women filmmakers and directors to support some of the things that we're looking at. I feel like women in business play a really interesting role. There are certain pockets where I can stop and say to myself, ‘OK, how do I help this woman on my team?’

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What's Critical to Being an Effective Mentor?

Alda Abbracciamento, chief growth officer, Flytedesk
Understand what success looks like from the mentee's perspective. Don't assume it's your wisdom that someone wants. Mentorship is often both ways—there's as much to learn from each other as there is for one to learn from the other. I have found it important not to overstep bounds, or assume that you know what your mentee needs to do or be.

Valerie Moizel, ecd and co-founder, The Woo
It's important to understand that often times younger generations have different perspectives than you did when you were starting out. Cultural norms have shifted, so the ways that you overcame challenges may not be the same way that makes sense today. Just be sensitive to that.

Courtney Berry, managing director, Barbarian
You don’t have to have all of the answers. And the fear of needing to have all of the answers shouldn’t discourage you from becoming a mentor to someone. Sometimes asking your mentee the questions helps to get to the answers you need. Take your time in getting to know your mentee.
