Built up my confidence in myself and my abilities

If you could capture in one word what this person has given you, what would that word be? (i.e. courage, inspiration, guidance, clarity...)

Confidence

How has mentorship carried forward in your life and helping others?

I have made an ongoing commitment to helping others achieve their goals - whether that's thru the sharing of learned insights, or thru listening, discussing, brainstorming and supporting their efforts even when I don't have direct experience.

What is 1 takeaway for people thinking about mentorship?

You likely have more to offer than you realize, and it doesn't take as much time or effort as people often think to have a positive impact on someone else's efforts - and on yourself!
