Written by the Officevibe Content Team, Illustrated by Thaïla Khampo

Looking back on your career so far, who was the one person that really made a difference? Whether it’s an old boss, a teacher, or mentor, we’ve all had one — and if we’re lucky, we’ve had a few.

This person did more than teach you how to accomplish tasks and hit deadlines. They taught you how to ask questions and to carry yourself, personally and professionally. They empowered you to think differently, find your own solutions and take on new challenges. They were your coach, and they changed your life.
