“You can’t understand someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”
I have a friend who was mentoring someone this week. They were shadowing meetings and actions and at the end of the day shared, “wow that was a really busy day, is it always like this?”
The mentor shared, “It’s not always like this but can go for a week or two in a row. I go home, grab something to eat and then catch up on emails and put some more work in. I love what I do, and that makes it worthwhile.”
It was important for the rising young star, “to walk a mile in her shoes” and try on what that role is like and if she wants to grind through adversity to one day get there.
Make sure you make yourself available to teach the next generation.
