Start here: Think back to a pivotal relationship you had early in your career with someone you’ve since lost touch with.

Take action: Reach out to that person and share how they helped you reconsider a challenge you were facing, led you to a new idea or shaped your career. Ask them what challenges or ideas they’re wrestling with now.

Reflect: What could you learn from each other now? How might you maintain this connection in a way that benefits you both?
