TESTIMONIALS/QUOTES FROM PAST MENTEES
We let each mentor guide their session as they see fit to encourage flexibility in the format and the ability to tailor the subject matter based on their group’s needs. As each mentor will approach their session differently (some may provide advanced readings and/or follow-up after the session, etc), we encourage YOU to make the most of this experience, preparing questions for your group and networking with fellow mentees, for example. Below are some great testimonials from our past mentees:
"I appreciated the opportunity to have an intimate zoom conversation with someone so accomplished and experienced in their field. I was given some incredible insight and that really motivated me to keep going" ~ Kayla S.
"It helped me get a grasp of what was possible and was really encouraging to get advice on such a personal level with the mentor" ~ Tanya M.
"My favorite thing was that the mentors really worked to enter into each of our worlds and discuss our goals during our intimate time together. Through our conversation, it was so evident that she wanted us all to succeed" ~ Anjali S.
"My favorite thing about being able to have intimate time with the mentor & fellow mentees was the ability to ask questions! I loved being able to ask questions to the mentors. With the mentees, I felt that I understood a lot of the girls and women who were actively seeking jobs within the industry. Hence, it felt like we had a connection." ~ Charline O.
