The Mentor Who Changed Everything

How Ronnie Went from Newbie to Leader, and How You Can Too!

Let me share a story about a guy named Ronnie.

Ronnie was 25, fresh out of tech school, and had just landed his first IT gig in Atlanta, Georgia. But Ronnie wasn’t an Atlanta guy—he was from Ohio. So why did he pick up his life, his family, and move across states for an entry-level job?

The reason? A mentor.

When Ronnie spoke with his soon-to-be boss, the conversation went beyond typical interview questions. This boss said, “Ronnie, if you come down here, I’ll teach you everything no one else taught me—skills you can’t just pick up in a tech class.” Not just the technical stuff, but people skills, communication strategies, and leadership basics.

Ronnie knew he’d hit the jackpot. Even though it was an entry-level role, it was a chance to gain skills that would shape his entire career. And before he even joined, his new boss invited him to a training session to show him the ropes.

Week after week, this boss would lead short sessions on managing workloads, handling priorities, and communicating effectively. The team didn’t just learn—they practiced these skills and reported back on their progress. Before long, they were working smoother, faster, and with real confidence.

And here’s the truth: with a mentor who’s been where you are, you can skip over mistakes they’ve already made. A mentor like that can help you grow faster than you ever thought possible.

Ronnie is living proof. That first job, those first lessons—they set him up for a career that took him all the way to managing helpdesk support for a global software company.

Leadership isn’t something you’re just born with; it’s something you can learn. And if you’re ready to grow, to lead, and to find your potential, I’m here to be that mentor for you.

Oh, and if you’re wondering who Ronnie’s boss was… that was me. I’d be honored to help you make your own story just as successful.
