It is easy to remember the good times! That sales award, new job, or promotion has reason for rememberance. But as I think back, it is the hardest times that have done more to shape me. Those days when I just did not want to go on, but did. When I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Who was the person(s) who laid the ground work for you? Was it that manager who always set the best exapmle for you. Was it a professor or friend who taught you to perservere by challenging you to be better than you thought you could be.
The answer as the perfect mentor is Christ, as he is in all and for all of us.
I had a boss and mentor for 13 years that was a great example of living your faith. He would say "I don't grow sales, I grow people. Then they grow sales." He lived that motto while growing his business over 20% every year; refining and growing a young ball of clay such as myself.
Who is/was your example? What experiences have changed you in some way that you grew up and became a real Catholic Professional? WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
Please send comments and stories, I will post for all to benefit and enjoy.
In Christ
