    Taking Risks and the Role of Mentors

    From a new entrepreneurship start-up to a complete career switch, taking risks is a part of every person's personal and professional journey. In an age where certainty is a luxury, it's empowering to have guides to usher you on your path, nudging you to take risks, step out of your comfort zone, and embrace the fear of the unknown. It is in our mistakes and failures that we learn, grow, and become the best versions of ourselves. With a dash of humor, Winston shared his own growth experience, highlighting the role of his mentors in encouraging him to take risks. He admits to initially scoffing at their advice, only to have clarity strike him later on. Their words, he realized, came from a place of love and with the intention of helping him step out of his comfort zone. Winston's journey signifies the transformative power of mentorship during job transitions, inspiring each one of us to take that first leap towards realizing our potential.
