What mentors say:

“My relationship with my mentee has been truly rewarding. The strength with which she tackles obstacles at work and in life has helped me find new ways to do the same.” 

Kamila Sandova, Employee Relations Manager at Deutsche Post DHL Global Business Services and Mentor

“I admire the way my mentee is open to receiving and following advice.  She takes on everything with an open mind. My mentee is a single mum who battles every day, with everything from transportation to power outages, but she keeps moving forward towards her dream no matter what.  I feel joy in sharing my experience with my mentee for I know what I have learned so far will help someone create something meaningful.   The relationship is generating positive growth, both for myself and for my mentee.  In return, I see my mentee gaining confidence, growing, expanding her mind, feeling happy with her achievements, proud of herself and ultimately...empowered!”

Carmen Romero von Banga, Investment and Sustainable Finance Advisor at Stream Advisors and Mentor
