Thank you for sharing about your 2023. Mine also included several life-changing "plot twists."
I may have to agree to disagree about fifty as a deadline. I'm a ways past that age, and "mentor" is not on my website or business card, although people do come to me casually for advice or to hear how I did something.
In some ways, I'm just getting started, and that's okay. I was a late bloomer when I was young, and that seems to track now, too. Plus, a lot of people, especially women, reach fifty and just get started on things they had to set aside for decades. And, sometimes, they have to wait until they retire at 65.
Anyway, IMO, you're already a mentor. So's your sidekick Russell. Y'all are right on track. :)
Sorry, I love Russell but “If you aren’t in a mentorship or leadership role in your career by 50, then you may be in trouble” is some straight up 8 nonsense 😂
I'm glad he has that goal and insight and I'm glad I know better for myself
A very candid, honest self-reflection. I admire your self-awareness, and most of us would greatly benefit from adopting those skills ourselves. I appreciate that you don’t shy away from confronting your weaknesses, I.e. not being able to bounce back like you used to in your twenties. I’m sure whatever you have coming up is amazing!
