Be an APP Mentor!!!
Stuck in a rut? It can be easy to feel this way once you’ve been in your career for a while. Mentoring can help you expand your perspective, build community, and challenge yourself. Whenever you teach or provide guidance to someone else, it can help reignite your own career motivation.
"The best way a mentor can prepare another leader is to expose him or her to other great people" ~ John C. Maxwell
