Why?
The mentoring programme amplifies the collective experience and wisdom of our network, inspiring mutual learning between a diverse group of professional peers across industries.
What?
The programme consists of 6 x 90-minute group mentoring sessions, providing a safe and supportive environment, facilitated by a mentor. Each group sets a “collective learning” contract as an overriding objective, with unique mentor themes offering a structure for exploration. This collective learning is a key differentiator of the programme.
Who it’s for?
If you’d benefit from a little space and time to prioritise your learning and growth, this programme is ideal for you! Participants are at all stages of career development, from a wide range of industries, which adds to the diversity and richness of shared experiences. You must be a fully paid-up member of PWN either via a corporate membership or as an individual member. Not a member? Join today.
