Excellent mentoring programme
I had the pleasure of being matched with Melissa Stone for my Mentor Her 6-week programme recently and although there are so many words I can think of to describe the experience of working with the incredible tour de force that is Melissa, the one that feels like the best fit for me is "transformational". Going into the programme, I assumed that this might be an exercise in doing a skills & experience audit to see what role I should target next. What it ended up being was far deeper than that, a complete introspection so I could understand not just what was driving me but why, and how to use this information to transform my approach to my career and address challenges such as my inclination toward imposter syndrome, something that had held me back over the years. Each week I looked forward to completing the activities between sessions and then seeing what new learnings they unlocked during my mentoring session. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and don't recommend strongly but I have also booked a friend onto the next 6-week Mentor Her session as the initiative is phenomenal. Melissa was incredible to work with and I have no doubt that I will work with her again in the future when I have career queries or need further mentoring as I felt that she really got me.
The programme itself represents exceptional value for money, a really good investment in your career. Although I didn't take up on the opportunity to join the weekly networking calls due to scheduling conflicts on my side, it was great having them as an option and the Whatsapp group was good too.
