Such an inspiring and necessary read. Although as powerful as that first connection is, I have come to realize that forging mentorship is just the beginning—what takes even more effort is keeping those relationships alive. I look forward to your next column on it!🤩

“While finding mentors shouldn't be too difficult, it will take effort and discernment to find the right ones. It starts by doing an introspective review of what your professional goals are.”
