How I help mentees
In my over 20 years of banking career, I have seen how young professionals struggle to make decisions whether to stay and build their career in banking or take to other perceived opportunities. Most times, they make fatal career mistakes by naively pursuing options they consider appropriate at the time only to realize in future that they were headed on the wrong path.
I took it upon myself to mentor and guide the young officers under my supervision on the benefits of building career in banking, being focused with clear plan for their career growth. I educate them on things like having growth mindset, professional etiquette and work culture, time management and productivity, goal setting and career mapping, effective communication & networking, etc. This has helped them tremendously to keep focused and maintain clarity on what to do to support their career growth while the organization benefit by maintaining low attrition rate. The mentees will benefit from similar guidance as they chart their career growth.
