Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Outgrowing your mentor isn’t betrayal

Outgrowing your mentor isn’t betrayal

There is an unspoken rule that mentorship is a lifelong bond, a relationship where the mentor guides and the mentee follows. One thing that is certain in life though, is change. Growth brings change - shifts in direction, unexpected turns and moments that challenge what we once thought we needed. As we move forward, the guidance that once felt essential may no longer fit where we are headed.

Log on to the SMDP Portal to view this "Mentor Moment" and don't forget to discuss this topic with your mentor/mentee - or share this content with someone else who can benefit from it.
