The Power of Mentorship in Retail & Beyond

Throughout my retail, merchandising, and sales career, I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the best in the business—mentors who shaped my business style, leadership, and customer relations. As I grow professionally, I get immense satisfaction in giving back by mentoring others.

Mentorship is less about transferring technical information, but transferring real-world experience, guiding through challenging circumstances, and advising on how to succeed in the ever-evolving retail landscape. Whether mentoring a new merchandiser through store execution, guiding a vendor through strategy, or assisting an emerging professional with building relationships, mentorship has a ripple effect of growth and success.

To my mentors—thanks for the wisdom. To my mentees—don't stop, don't quit. And to anyone looking for advice, never underestimate the power of a conversation with someone who's come before you.

Who has been a mentor in your working life, and what's the best advice they've given you? Let's keep the conversation going!
