Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Inspiration is very perishable 

Inspiration is very perishable
Once in a while we get inspired and feel a sudden urge to change something or start something new. It happens a lot actually but we don’t really notice how quickly those moments pass if we do nothing with them. Sometimes an idea excites you or a conversation sparks something. Maybe you attend a workshop, read an article, listen to a podcast or you have a moment on a drive where everything becomes clear, and suddenly everything feels possible. You now see the bigger picture, you feel capable and you feel ready to finally do 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.
