Interview Insights
Top 3 Takeaways
- We can’t have a work-life balance every day. There are busy seasons and seasons of relaxation.
- You don’t have to meet someone in person to make them your mentor. It could be anyone who is wise or experienced that you can learn from.
- A mentor doesn’t need to be someone perfect or someone who is always successful. A mentor can also be someone who failed because we can learn from their failures so we won’t fall into the same traps they fell into.
