In our professional development, I am sure there was someone who advised or directed you to great success. I am sure there was someone who took the time to instruct you and give their candid opinions to your matters. Having a mentor is an excellent way to advance professionally and socially. Even better, being a mentor can help in the same way. I encourage all of my readers and followers to reach out and help others!

Yes, you guessed it, I was on the greens enjoying 18 holes at the lovely East Lake Golf Course. I took part in the Georgia Women's Business Council Golf Tournament. I must admit it was challenging walking the course but I made some good shots and totally enjoyed getting to know my team. We had excellent caddies as well, which made the experience even more pleasant. My next steps are to get in some golf lessons and purchase a driver!
