Clockwork Marketing Services President Maxine McBride recently joined other top women leaders for the fourth annual Bizwomen Mentoring Monday, an annual nationwide event hosted locally by the Jacksonville Business Journal.

The event, part of an effort to encourage and support mentoring within the business community, drew dozens of area women seeking professional advice from experienced business leaders. The program featured multiple one-on-one coaching sessions of five minutes, making it possible for attendees to network with numerous professionals.

“We all need mentors in our lives and I am always happy to participate in this event,” said McBride. “Mentors provide professional advice, guidance and feedback. As relationships develop, a mentor provides valuable insight and can help you get to the next level in your career.”
