What mentoring means to me

  • People are the most important aspect of cybersecurity. Knowledge alone does not make anyone successful. They must learn how to apply knowledge to various organizations, situations, and problems. In addition, they must sharpen their leadership, public speaking, and personal branding skills. This is the key edge I provide to my students. In addition, I also mentor members of our Toast of Severna Park Toastmasters club in public speaking and leadership.
  • I think the relationship between a professor and a student must go well beyond the classroom. Each student is unique and has a unique gift to offer the world. Most people are too shy or socialized by society into conforming and suppressing their true talents and success potential. My mentorship of my students years after they have completed my courses or graduated from my educational programs gives them the confidence to bring out their inner greatness. I also teach them to mentor others. I enjoy following the professional development of my students.
  • Once they start to execute, my mentees become a source of inspiration for me. Many of my mentees have become established leaders in the field and have won multiple global awards and recognition in the field within a very short time. I have often travelled to a conference just to be there to see my mentee win an award.
