At Microsoft, I regularly mentor some fellow softies.   It can be tough to navigate the waters, find your strengths, figure out worklife balance, and deal with the stresses of the job, all while making things happen.  I help my mentees learn  the most effective ways for getting results in a tough, competitive environment.  It's challenging.  It's rewarding.  I've had several great mentors throughout my life at Microsoft, so mentoring is a way that I give back, sharing my lessons learned and helping others grow.  While my 1:1 sessions are the most effective, I try to share key practices more broadly in posts.  Here's a roundup of my various posts for improving effectiveness at work and life.  I organized them by meaningful buckets and provided an A-Z list at the end.  Enjoy.
