"To give back during a holiday where it's all about giving and being thankful - I've always been bles..." — Tobias Harris

Trust takes a lifetime to build, but only a moment to destroy. When looking to build a genuine connection with a mentor, you can simply partake in shared hobbies or activities the mentee or mentor is into, exchange stories, or partake in trust-building workshops together.

There are a lot of hard-working parents out there for whom it is hard to support their families during Thanksgiving.

Each and every day I truly wake up, I'm thankful to have a life and be alive. I'm thankful to do what I do.

As a mentor, you have to be willing to put yourself in your mentee's shoes to understand their struggles that they deal with. It's not supposed to turn into a pity party by any means, but empathy speaks volumes to a mentee in need of help rather than forced sympathy.
