How My Mentor Helped My Career

Imet the man who would become my mentor for the first time in September of 2014. It was truly one of the most impactful pivot moments of my life. Consider that, until that time, I had never had a true long-lasting, heavily-invested mentor to help me navigate my career. While I like to believe that I was always a smart and hardworking guy, I always felt like I was missing that little something that would catalyze my career. Like a nitro boost to go from regular speed to ultra speed. Well, that career catalysis started in September 2014 (I was 37 years old), when my mentor began to help me with an organization-wide process mapping project. That mentorship would start with a once-per-week 30-minute meeting. Then it became twice a week, then 15 minutes every day, and so on. Under my mentor’s tutelage, my career progress was slow and incremental at first. But there definitely was progress to be seen, as I slowly made changes to my professional and personal life. The foundation of career fundamentals were being set. <h2><a href="https://markbundang.medium.com/4-step-process-to-transform-your-life-for-the-better-48943d016993?source=post_page-----92e9c6b9541c--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow" target="_blank">4-Step Process to Transform Your Life For The Better</a></h2> <h3><a href="https://markbundang.medium.com/4-step-process-to-transform-your-life-for-the-better-48943d016993?source=post_page-----92e9c6b9541c--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow" target="_blank">How I managed my conversion to a healthy and fit lifestyle using a project management mindset.</a></h3> <a href="https://markbundang.medium.com/4-step-process-to-transform-your-life-for-the-better-48943d016993?source=post_page-----92e9c6b9541c--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow" target="_blank">markbundang.medium.com</a> I spent about 2 years working with my mentor in the same company before life had us parting ways, but to this day we still keep in contact, checking in at least once or twice a year. <a href="https://markbundang.medium.com/how-my-mentor-helped-my-career-92e9c6b9541c">Read More</a>
