5 out of 5 stars
I was seeking mentorship since I was not confident on my objectives in the near future. I was seeking guidance to analyze my current skill set, see where I could provide value, and confirm/deny if this is where I saw myself going towards. This required making decisions. We tackled the challenges by understanding what I like and what I wanted for my future. Understanding the objections and what we need to work on. We developed a plan, labeling steps and executed them. By receiving feedback from him I was working on each step and polishing them. This mentorship contrinuted to my professional career in the following way: I know my skills, I know what I want, and I know what I can do to get there. Dan is absolutely phenomenal and I highly recommend to work with him.
