A GUIDE TO GROWING YOUR CAREER: FINDING THE RIGHT MENTOR
Who do you admire? Whose career, leadership, or perspective inspires you? If someone immediately comes to mind, congratulations—you might already have the perfect mentor in waiting.
The right advisor can make all the difference in your career growth and personal development. A person who can offer guidance, share hard-earned wisdom, and help you navigate challenges you didn’t even know were coming. (And here’s the best part–you’ll likely have multiple mentors throughout your life.)
Become The Mentor You Wish You Had
Have you ever thought about the impact you could have on someone else’s career? Whether you’ve been in the game for years or are just starting out, chances are there’s someone out there who could benefit from your guidance. And here’s the best part: you don’t need to dedicate endless hours to be a meaningful mentor. Sometimes, just an hour or two over a few months can make all the difference in someone’s professional journey.
Slow Your Scroll
“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.” -Thomas Carlyle
When you slow your scroll, you become intentionally aware of the memes and posts in your feed. Between the images of puppies and summer sunsets are messages of positivity, quotes about intention, pauses to promote purpose.
The author spoke of intentionality and how his single, most useful lesson learned at Harvard was to apply one’s knowledge to the purpose of one’s life. Every. Single. Day. Without that discovery and the clarity, there is the risk of sailing off without a rudder–trapped in the rough seas of life.
