The Many Benefits of Helping Others Succeed

I couldn't agree with you more! I am a career counselor by trade but find that I am providing career counseling and boosting morales in the oddest of places. For example, I met a woman in a curtain shop who wanted to get back into the work force after having been home for a while. She lacked confidence and computer skills. This woman had worked for CEO's! I told her she could definitely get back into the work force and told her where she could take a computer class. This impromptu career counseling session began when she told me that she didn't know how to use the internet to find a curtain that the shop was out of. You just never know where or when you're going to meet people in need of an encouraging word or some sound advice to get them moving in their careers.
