I’ve had my fair share of success in life. However, it was filled with challenges that pushed me beyond my limits. When those challenges subsided, I realized I had grown. Reflecting on my own path, I've encountered numerous hurdles that tested my resolve and determination. These struggles, though daunting at the time, ultimately propelled me to new heights.

In my humble opinion success is never a linear progression; it's a journey marked by twists, turns, and unexpected detours. There were moments when I questioned my decisions, wondering if the fight was worth it. But amidst the uncertainty, one thing remained constant: the invaluable guidance of my mentors.

Having at least one mentor by my side has been a game-changer. Whether I was grappling with frustration or uncertainty, having someone to turn to made all the difference. A mentor offers wisdom, perspective, and unwavering support, helping navigate the complexities of professional growth.

As I continue to strive for excellence, I've come to realize the importance of fostering a culture of mentorship within my team. By creating an environment where individuals can seek guidance and support from one another, we not only empower our colleagues but also elevate the collective success of our organization.

My brother, Timothy Parker, Chief of Staff, Office of the President & Chief Operating Officer for Nationwide Insurance stopped by for an episode of Principles of Winning. He talked about mentorship and other principles that has helped him gain success in his personal and professional life.

This new episode drops on Wednesday March 20th @ 12 pm EST.
