PERSONAL EXPERIENCE – THE IMPACT OF MENTORSHIP ON MY LIFE
I have several mentors in my life. On a personal and professional level, whom I know I can trust their opinions and advice on whatever topic or subject I put forward to them. To name one, it is my banker. He advises me on major financial decisions I need to make in my life. I look back today with a heart full of gratitude that our paths crossed. Additionally, through mentorship, I gained a deeper appreciation for achieving a healthy work-life balance. One’s quality of life depends on the choices we make every day. Setting time aside for self-care, time management, and prioritization helped me to find a balance between the different roles I hold and my well-being. Their mentorship empowered me to set boundaries, manage stress, and cultivate a fulfilling life outside of work.
