As people reach the midpoint of their careers or lives, many crave change, wondering what's next. “Is that all there is?” is a question often asked. Perhaps you find yourself in this position, sensing that there's something more. While staying put is an option, the allure of something different, something more significant, is undeniable. It’s hard to overemphasize the power of mentorship.

A mentor is not only a teacher and guide, but a source of wisdom and experience. The guide sets a pace that can be followed. Today we explore the role of mentor and mentee as well as who needs a mentor and the choice all of us make, no matter what position or role.

Drawing insights from the book "The Summit," we discuss the journey of Mallery, a woman who dared to dream big but needed a guide to help her reach her goals. This story underscores the importance of taking that crucial first step and seeking the right mentor who aligns with your aspirations.

Hero Mountain Summit is formatted as an online mentorship course to not only start a journey but complete it successfully with small steps that are achievable and measurable.
