New perspectives.
Practical steps forward..

A mentor can ask better questions, offer perspective, and walk beside you through hard decisions. They cannot choose growth for you. I share what two long-term mentoring relationships taught me about honesty, timing, personal responsibility, and the goal of building your own judgment rather than depending on someone else’s.

Saying “I hate my job” may hide a more specific problem. Through a fictional employee's experience and a story from my years as a merchant assistant, I explore how to tell whether you dislike the work itself, the circumstances around it, or the lack of authority to change what keeps going wrong.
