Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Your mentor can’t want it more than you do

Sometimes the hardest thing to accept is that someone else’s belief in you is not enough. A mentor can see your potential, advocate for you and offer guidance, but they cannot carry your ambition. They cannot chase your goals harder than you do. And when they start wanting it more than you, the dynamic shifts. It turns into pressure, not support.

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.
