What makes you a good mentor?
I am a firm believer that we are all here to live our best lives. If I can help others do that even in the smallest way possible, I find that very humbling. I believe that gratitude and empathy are some of the most powerful tools in professional development, career advancement, and life in general. These tools were made aware to me by many mentors, supporters and influential people in my life. I hope I can simply pass it forward.
