"I developed a strong relationship with my mentor. She offered excellent advice on all situations we discussed. Event when I didn't think I really needed any guidance and we were just discussing current events, she offered insight and suggestions that were invaluable!"

"I would say that being part of Menttium was indeed a help to my professional life in the sense that I was at a stage where I was considering leaving the organization. My mentor helped offer clarity for me and provided me with advice on how to work through the issues I was facing. As a result, I’m now celebrating my sixth anniversary here. Being a part of the Menttium program meant that I was recognized by my company as a high performing individual."

"I received a great deal of valuable coaching from the program. The program allowed my mentor to be totally dedicated to me as a coach and help me to view issues from a different perspective. I felt comfortable asking my mentor anything and appreciated his honest feedback. I truly fell that my company has benefited from my participation in Menttium, as have my employees."

"Being a part of the Menttium 100 Program has been instrumental in changing my career focus and my approach to development. In the past I had allowed my career to “happen” to me. Now, “I” make my career happen. It was a significant change and I credit my mentor for that shift in thinking."

"Menttium unexpectedly introduced me to two phenomenal networks. The first is the network of other mentees; bright, energetic and wonderful women who work in my city with whom I hope to stay in touch and work with at some point in the future. Second, we created an informal “past and present” Menttium network at my organization which provided connections to yet another set of women. Those connections will stay with me for years and years."

"I had to make a very difficult career decision while in the program and my mentor was instrumental in helping me navigate through the difficult time with confidence and determination. She provided an objective view of things while providing a tremendous amount of support."

"Being part of the Menttium is learning from one another; growing yourself as well as through your mentor. It is definitely multi-faceted but you only get out of it what you are willing to put in. By making the most of my Menttium 100 experience, I have created lifelong connections with my mentor and other women in leadership."
