Become a Mentee – TODAY

Having a mentor is one of the most important things a person can do. A recent study by LinkedIn revealed that 82 percent of women believe that it is important to have a mentor, yet only one out of every five women has ever had one!  
The Mentoring Nigeria virtual mentoring program aims to inspire and empower Nigerians working around the world that are making a difference to support your growth and impact to make an even bigger difference. In this way, we create a ripple effect of change. 

Mentors work over the phone or Skype and share their ideas and suggestions of what has worked for them with regard to their career, management and leadership experience and they will provide you with support to apply it to your specific role, career and organization.
The Benefits –
* Advice, encouragement and support from a senior woman or man in business around areas such as team management, communication, work/life balance and career planning.
* An external perspective from someone outside your sector.
* The opportunity to share your challenges and brainstorm ways to overcome them with an independent counsel.
We match you with a mentor in the business, entrepreneurial or corporate world who wants to give back so that you can gain new perspectives, have an external sounding board, listener, supporter and advocate from a different sector to yours and so that we can forge more links between the sectors.
There is no cost in becoming a Mentoring Nigeria mentee.
