How did your senior management mentor's guidance impact you as an LDP Associate? I was most impressed by senior management's genuine commitment to the mentoring program. Larry Grypp, my senior manager, served as a constant sounding board to provide me with strategic direction and helpful advice. With his vast experience in the industry and personal network, Larry proved invaluable in helping me find my way around the organization and become acclimatized to the corporate culture. Our meetings always assisted me in reflecting upon the effectiveness of my decisions and the impact of my actions. – Mary Noll Vice President of Operations Fort Washington Savings Company		Mary Noll (right) with her senior management mentor, Larry Grypp (left), President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbus Life Insurance Company
What do you enjoy most about being an LDP executive mentor? I enjoy the challenge and invigoration of working with exceptionally talented LDP Associates, such as Mary, who are potential leaders for the future. As with many teaching/mentoring roles, I often learn as much as the LDP Associate – our interaction and projects sharpen my own thinking and skills. – Larry Grypp President and CEO Columbus Life Insurance Company
