I know that a lot of you (my blog readers) trust me because I recognize the complexity and nuance of workplace issues like this.

It’s not just because I’ve been writing this blog for over 5 years (any Joe-schmoe off the street can do this, you know!). Mentor Someone In Your Field. As a mentor, you’ll gain a new perspective about the work you do. Or start a blog like this one (as I said, anyone can!). Talk to them. Ask them questions. Be a sponge.

These days, the status has changed quite a bit thanks to high-quality blogs that offer insight and education on topics ranging from entrepreneurship to home schooling to politics and more.

Become a Mentor. As a mentor, you’ll gain a new perspective about the work you do. Or start a blog! Sharing your wisdom with the people around you is not an activity born from the ego. It’s about being of service. It’s about them, not you. Giving, not gloating. There’s no shortage of young professionals looking for guidance.

For Mother’s Day last month, I wrote a special blog post honoring the career wisdom handed down to me from my dear mom. Some of you may remember a blog post I wrote a while back where I spoke of a situation where fear almost got the best of me. That doesn’t mean taking stupid risks, of course. But that’s not healthy.
