Advice on how to navigate today’s evolving workplace

Father’s Day offers a unique opportunity to not only celebrate dads and father figures. It’s also a time to reflect on the sage advice that we’ve received over the years from others we respect—regardless of gender. 

These words of wisdom, with a dash of discernment, are particularly valuable in business. Several studies link workplace mentoring to a range of positive outcomes—from confidence to mental health to job promotion—for both mentor and mentee. And those who have a good experience typically show their appreciation by going on to mentor others. 

In the spirit of paying it forward, we asked businesspeople of all ages, in various roles and across a variety of industries to pass along their best piece of professional advice on adapting and thriving in today’s workplace.

These types of human interaction and engagement help foster a foundation for keeping it real.”
