In this episode, special guest Ron Melanson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronaldmelanson/ ) takes us through a discussion about what bar raising is at Amazon, providing us with his history of mentoring and talking about what drove him to become a more active career coach. This includes a discussion around mental health and job seeking. Something many folks will not discuss, but we want to address it head on as I know it affected me personally during my job search.
