Brian W. Cortez

Volunteer mentor with Buffalo Foundation

  • 🇺🇸 Buffalo, New York, United States
  • Buffalo Foundation
  • Since 1978
  • English
For 48 years I've mentored people in public speaking and nursing. Mostly it's coffee, honest feedback and a lot of listening. I don't give advice so much as ask questions until the answer shows up. I walk the dog by the river. I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.

More about Brian

Some of my mentees now mentor others. That's how it's meant to work.

Areas of mentoring

What gifts mean to Brian: I'd put gifts toward travel for in-person sessions with students.
