In the Mentoring Minute™ series, I answer questions from my readers and provide at least one great idea on succeeding at work, winning at life, and enjoying it.

Are you stumped on how to respond to a problem at work?

Recently, I wrote an article for International Women’s Day about this. I realized that these actions have worked well for many successful men and women, so I decided to include them in your weekly post.

If you are feeling stumped, stuck, or powerless to change a situation, don’t forget that you have many choices. You can be the change you want to see when you take responsibility for your own success and intentionally choose to invest in yourself and take advantage of opportunities that already exist for you now.

On this week’s Mentoring Minute™ and blog post, I reveal five steps that every motivated person can take to achieve the leadership and impact they desire.

My advice is based on been there, done that experience on how to accelerate your own progress toward greater leadership, impact, and financial rewards now. I believe that if you take action on even a few of these ideas, you will also see progress, sometimes in surprising, unexpected ways.
