Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
What if you don’t actually want a promotion? 

What if you don’t actually want a promotion?

You might be one of those people who love their work, are great at it and you really just don’t want to manage a team, sit in longer meetings, or take on bigger responsibilities that pull you away from the part you enjoy most. If that’s the kind of person you are, then your ambition just happens to look different. Not smaller, just different.

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.
