Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Sometimes the win is just getting through the day 

Sometimes the win is just getting through the day

Life piles up sometimes and there are days that are just heavy. Sometimes it’s not even for any big reason. It just happens. Your brain is foggy, your inbox feels like a wall, the pressure… and your energy is nowhere to be found. On these days, you are not inspired or feeling productive at all and no amount of pep talk is changing that. And still, the day demands something from you.

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.
