Thank you for being a friend (or mentor)

Welcome to the week, Baltimore. Today, I'm inspired by my article on a topic that's close to our editorial calendar theme this month: mentorship. 
 
We all got help somewhere along the way during our careers. To highlight how a good supervisor is worth a thousand classes, and the power of paying it forward, I ask this: What was the most helpful thing an old boss did for you?
 
Let us know how a boss, supervisor or coworker helped change the trajectory of your career by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
