About Mentorship Matchmaking

Mentorship was the most requested addition to Hire Women Week, so we’re bringing it back for another year. With your help, we are facilitating a mentorship matchmaking day to connect mentees to senior professionals in their field.

When: Friday, January 26 There are sessions for mentoring on the final day of Hire Women Week.

Where: Join the video session via the Hire Women Week event platform.

Time Commitment: 30 min per session Each sign up leads to a 20-minute session with option to extend time by a few minutes if needed.

Who are the Mentors: The mentors are event attendees and Lady Bird Talent community members who have several years experience in their areas of expertise and have volunteered to meet with a mentee.

Who are the Mentees: The mentees are women who are attending Hire Women Week and want a 1:1 conversation with someone who is specific to their discipline or moment in their career.

Topics to discuss: Mentees should be prepared to bring one or two specific questions in advance.

FAQ’s:

  1. What is the difference between a Mentor and a Mentee?

    1. Mentor: A mentor is an experienced and knowledgeable individual who is committed to guiding and supporting others in their personal and professional development. Mentors provide valuable insights, share expertise, and offer guidance based on their own experiences. If you have a wealth of knowledge and are passionate about helping others navigate challenges and reach their goals, sign up as a mentor.

    Note: Mentors are not seeking advice but are dedicated to offering guidance and support to mentees.

    Mentee: A mentee is someone who is eager to learn and grow, seeking guidance and support from a mentor to enhance their skills and navigate their career or personal journey. If you are looking for a mentor to provide insights and advice, sign up as a mentee.

    Note: Mentees are individuals seeking guidance and are not offering mentorship.
