Empowering Growth, Together
I once tried mentoring a so-called “rising star” in my department. Let’s call him Dave. Bright kid, full of potential, and all the enthusiasm of a puppy with a new chew toy. Yet, every time we sat down to go over his projects, it felt like trying to untangle a nest of live wires. His…
