Priceless advice

“My mentor, Adrian Lee, has very extensive experience in the business and management world, which is very different from the medical field that I am in. His career included running Langham Place before his retirement and he has provided me with in-depth insights into the principles of business and co-operation, and their real-life applications. He also recommended books about English usage and world politics for me to read so as to improve my language skills and critical thinking. As he has recently retired, he also told me the importance of having a good relationship with family and friends, and of course keeping up with hobbies.

Adrian is worldly and sophisticated. I suppose this is the reason he could achieve so much during his career and reach such a significant post before retirement. This is definitely something that cannot be learnt from textbooks or in a classroom. I am thankful for Adrian’s sharing of wisdom, and I am grateful for the HKU Mentorship Programme for connecting me with Adrian.” Kelvin Yiu
