Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
It’s the work you put in 

It’s the work you put in

When good things happen, people are quick to call it luck. They will say you are lucky to have that job, lucky to have made it, lucky to be where you are. And you might say so too sometimes. Maybe because it feels easier than explaining all the things you had to do just to be standing where you are now. Maybe because you don’t want to sound like you are bragging. Or maybe because a part of you still struggles to believe you have actually earned it.

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.
