“A mentor is someone who allows you to know that no matter how dark the night, in the morning, joy will come. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the higher part of yourself when something becomes hidden to your own view.” This quote from Oprah Winfrey starts off today's episode all about being an ally, a mentor, and a sponsor in your professional and your personal life.
