“It’s almost impossible to get it right the first time, so learn how to deal with disappointment and be critical about what you do.” For Tanja Ubert, the most important lesson that a young talent can learn, is that they need to be persistent and not give up if they fail.

At Rightbrains we foster a culture of mentoring with the help of experienced mentors and professionals from the industry. Mentors can help you map out your career path, prepare and guide you on your career journey and help you transform your mindset. However, building the grit and persistence is what will set you up for success. 

For our next Mentor Meetup we are honoured to announce that we have Tanja Ubert, Lecturer at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, and Marieke van Gent, entrepreneur and consultant at IT Efficiency to share lessons learned from past experiences so that mentees can steepen their learning curve and succeed.

Join us on August 26 from 5 pm to 6 pm to experience a new mentoring session where women in the community share experiences from their mentor-mentee relationships, how to find a mentor, how to start the conversation and how to help you grow in your digital career. 

Tanja Ubert is a Lecturer at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences where she teaches Methods, Design and Data Engineering. Here she also contributes to research projects focussed on building a better and more sustainable world. 

Marieke van Gent is an IT consultant with more than 20 years of experience in the digital industry, where she held a number of different business analysis and implementation project management roles before starting her own consultancy, IT Efficiency Projectbureau.
