Learning is a lifelong process, self-directed and self-paced. We often spend too much time, effort, and energy looking to the destination and not paying attention to the opportunities or moments along the way.

Investing in your team is even more critical today and every day, especially as we tackle The Big Resignation, labor shortages, and the challenges of returning to the office environment post-covid. Employee investment not only contributes to a strong return on investment and helps attract better talent, but it also helps your employees feel like you not only value them as part of the team but also want to see them succeed.

Relationships that include mentoring are a win-win for everyone. Mentoring is reciprocal and collaborative; an at-will relationship that occurs for the purpose of the mentee’s growth, learning, and career development, with an emphasis on organizational goals, culture, career goals, advice on professional development, and work-life balance.
