One-on-One Mentorship
Leadership may be defined by your actions, but what you learn is refined through reflection. A mentor can be that person who listens, challenges, and encourages you at any point in your life. As a Rising Star, you have the option to match with a dedicated, online Mentor to work towards your goals and actions, reflect on your challenges and achievements, and offer different insights and perspectives. Our Mentors are a diverse group of global professionals who are selected for their passion and commitment to support women leaders.
