Shane Weddle, franchisee at FASTSIGNS® of Fort Walton Beach/Destin, Flo. and chamber board member, was recently interviewed by the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce for his involvement in their 2023 mentorship program, Mentoring Emerald Coast. This program is a partnership program between both the Walton Area Chamber and the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce.
For Shane, it was a great experience, and the value of this program involves giving back and helping a young professional in the community. Through the program, he is also able to continue networking for himself and his business.
He got to know his mentee and his family and even attended an award ceremony for him at Northwest Florida State College. Shane and his mentee also read “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin.
“You really get to know that person you’re spending time with,” shared Shane. “You can really jump in and work on yourself as well as help this young person that you’re mentoring.”
In the conversation, Shane highlighted the importance to mentor to donate the years of diverse industry experience and help bring up the next generation of young professionals who will lead and develop the community.
