What our mentors say
“In terms of my experience and feedback, I'm enjoying it. Overall, a great group of mentees, proactively asking questions and responding to my feedback and advice. They added me to their Miro board, which made it very easy for me to keep track of their work.”
“On the mentor front I'm enjoying the experience so far. The Accelerators team have been coming to the catch-ups with questions for me around the challenges they have been working on and seem to respond well to the advice I have been giving them.”
“Now that I'm more aligned with the group, I'm actually finding it a great experience. I can really see the value I'm adding, and getting feedback on that. I'm learning a lot of ways to support groups.”
“Thank you, Eleni and Kimolian Academy, for this wonderful opportunity to contribute to the development of such promising professionals. This experience has been incredibly rewarding, both professionally and personally.”
“It has been a privilege to mentor the passionate, self-driven women committed to their learning. Joining the Uplifters' board improved our collaboration and gave us clear visibility into project progress. I also appreciate how positively the team responded to my feedback.”
