Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Career Mentoring


--by cheeka, posted Dec 15, 2024
An ex-colleague of mine reached out to me after a long time. He wrote "about eight years ago you mentored me and guided me in my career transition. Thank you for your wisdom and i have had a good ride. But I have just been informed by my manager that I have been impacted in the latest round of layoffs in the company. Will appreciate if you can help me navigate. Thank you" I responded him that am happy to help in whatever way I can. We spoke for an hour, guided him to highlight his experience and accomplishments on the areas that matter. Offered him to refer him as requested and wished him the very best.
