One friend, colleague, mentor,...
By John Tuite · Posted 08/05/2020
Who is that one personal acquaintance, friend, colleague, mentor, etc. in your life who made the most positive impact on your future direction in your younger years?
If you’re like me, you’ll have to sort that out from a long list of people who have really set you on a new course, inspired you by their daily life and work, or took time out to help you succeed or get through a difficult time. That’s a lot of people, by the time you’re as old as we all are.
Let’s honor these key people in our lives with a story about that point in your relationship with one of them, when that experience helped to make you who you are today.
