We aren't in the same office anymore, but we now meet monthly to go to our local chapter's IAAP dinner meeting and then spend the drive home catching up on what each of us is up to. And the same for another person I worked with. When I was younger I became good friends with someone I worked with and then I became their boss.

I was fortunate to work with some amazing managers and executives who were happy to mentor me about business and how to be a business partner. My next favorite was attending administrative conferences although there were not many offered in my day, mostly IAAP (then PSI) conferences. I also learn by doing not just reading or watching.
