Age old advice for young professionals is to seek out a mentor. My wife has been lucky enough to have a mentor that looks out for her, guides her and gives her the benefit of his wisdom and experience. I’ve come to realize that I need that too.
When the pressure of a career starts to get to you or you feel that you have a communication breakdown the best place to turn is often an outside perspective from someone who has “been there, done that.”
This is a new goal of mine.
