Constructive Criticism

Empathy

Assign Peer Mentors

In my early days of entrepreneurship, I felt solely responsible for the success of my business. It seemed like it was all up to me to make sure things got done, goals were met and the company was moving forward. However, as things started to take off, I quickly realized that I couldn't do it alone.
