Bo Levi Mitchell is famous as the starting quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders CFL team, but a shoulder injury that required injury made him think about preparing for life after football.

In this video, Bo Levi talks about how to mentor young workers and about what a professional athlete can bring to the corporate world.

Dave McCorkill is a well-known corporate coach with decades of experience. He talks about what workers who have been downsized need to do to prepare for a career transition.
