Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Learn to change direction 

Learn to change direction

In both life and career, there are moments when continuing down the same path no longer feels right. We may find ourselves resisting change, believing that staying the course is the safest option. However, changing direction can be a necessary step toward growth, rather than a sign of giving up or admitting defeat. The ability to pivot, whether in your career, personal life, or even mindset, is a powerful tool for moving forward.
