There is something so thrilling in helping someone to develop their potential, to imagine who they could become, and to give them the confidence to achieve it. Perhaps part of the reason that I get so much joy from mentoring is that I remember how much my own mentors shared the wisdom I needed at pivotal moments of my life. Gratitude has inspired me to pass on the best advice they gave me — along with a few lessons I’ve learned during my own professional journey — in the hope that these suggestions will benefit you or the people you are now mentoring.
