Local community and connection matter, and regular walks help women build meaningful relationships that extend beyond a single conversation.

Intergenerational insight adds depth and perspective, helping participants build the capability to navigate decisions, transitions and what’s next in their careers.

The Conversations Women Bring —

Here are some of the questions women in Calgary brought to their mentor conversations.

"How does one maintain a sense of self and purpose while navigating an unprecedented and difficult job market?

Shireen's story (my mentor) was very inspiring and does speak to possibility of enduring/being resilient in difficult times. She validated that I am already taking the steps towards my next career path, and even suggested volunteering at the university."

⎯ Kathleen, Calgary mentee

It was a great experience to talk to a mentor! It helped my synthesize my next step."

⎯ Alllyson, Calgary mentee

The support and connection are amazing! It helped me to think about what I want, set a goal/plan, and then test it out with a new mentor and group next time."

⎯ Cheyenne, Calgary mentee

"I want to make the transition out of Marketing and into other business areas.

My mentor and fellow mentees listened closely to my challenge, asked thoughtful questions, and offered meaningful feedback and ideas. They also explored networking opportunities with me; it was a fantastic way to connect with other professional women."

⎯ Sara, Calgary mentee
