It’s not just about giving back; it's about growing and enhancing your resume with valuable experiences. 4. Building a Personal Board of Directors: Think of this as assembling your own dream team. Engage with mentors, sponsors, and coaches who can guide and support you. These relationships are your foundation for continuous growth. 5.
