who is a good candidate for this leadership mentoring?
A good candidate for this leadership mentoring program is a female who is in a leadership role already or a high potential innovator who aspires to move into leadership. They are goal-oriented and ambitious and looking towards growing and developing and at the same time could benefit from the professional perspective of other like-minded female leaders. This is not an industry-specific program. It’s centered around females who are ambitious and driven and working to build leadership skills, achieve their goals and are wanting to move fast. As with anything, you get out of it what you put into it.
what the opportunity includes:
1:1 mentoring
Each mentee selects topics of their choosing for areas of leadership development and leverage our technology to self-select a mentor of their choice on that topic for 3-months. At the culmination of those 3-months, participants select a new area of growth and a new mentor – resulting in a total of 4 mentors per year.
group mentorship & coaching
Every other month, group mentorship sessions are provided for participants. This provides a space for public speakers, a variety of insights and group coaching for your employees.
mentoring certification
Ensuring our mentors and mentees are having impactful conversations is key! We teach each employee through a five-session coursework on how to be a successful mentor and certify them at their completion.
capacity building tools
Accessing our robust Skills Learning Library provides additional tools and resources that your employees can access 24/7. This library of resources covering more than 40 topics in both personal and skill development provides additional guidance for growth.
When it comes to building leadership skills, access to relationships is critical. Mentoring makes it happen.
We’re not the only mentorship solution, but we’re separating ourselves from the pack. By implementing the Project Lead for Women Program, you’ll provide opportunities to connect with innovators around the globe – not limited to within your companies. We work with companies regardless of industry and size, from startup to enterprise. Your employees can pursue a mentoring certification that teaches them how to be a successful mentor, increasing their leadership skills and capacity.
why do some leadership mentoring programs fail?
poor planning
Without a plan, any number of things can go wrong without the strategy in place to address those issues.
Our program is organized and offers the structure, resources, and support you need experience smooth implementation and ongoing success.
not scalable
In-house programs often put a massive burden on internal staff trying to facilitate the program.
Our fully administered leadership mentoring program can scale as much as you need and provides the structure to develop great leaders!
traditional hierarchies
Typically, mentorship relies on traditional hierarchies which aren’t structured with personalized professional development in mind.
We match mentees and mentors based on relevant skills & interests.
insufficient training
Many programs don’t provide participants enough context for how to be an effective mentor/mentee.
We provide the resources and tools along with our structured, proven program to help mentors & mentees reach their goals.
lack of measurement
Programs without measurables or analytics don’t have insights into program effectiveness.
Our software includes a helpful analytics dashboard with ongoing reporting. Plus we’ll review metrics with you so you so you can be sure your organization’s initiatives are successful.
bad matching
Oftentimes we hear leadership mentoring programs don’t prioritize matching candidates to those who are a good fit leaving participants uncomfortable and without progress.
We match mentees and mentors based on the goal development skills.
mentoring that makes an impact
We’re fully committed to helping you succeed. We show this by delivering a scalable & measurable mentoring program that is fully administered by our team. We prove our commitment by assisting with onboarding, providing ongoing reports and quality check-ins, annual metric reviews, and dedicated support.

Step 1: launching the program
The Project Lead for Women program is fully administered by us. This means no lift from your internal teams saving you the time and hassle.
Step 2: mentor matching
Our proprietary software allows you to filter and sort mentors on criteria that’s important to you (race, gender, years of experience, industry, etc.), allowing you to select a mentor that will resonate with you.
step 3: library of resources
The leadership mentoring program goes beyond connecting your team to mentors. We have developed a robust, curated library of learning resources for self-guided development of leadership skills.
step 4: reporting & analytics
Reports are sent directly to you so no need to constantly log in and check the dashboard – but it’s there if you want it. Monthly analytics ensure engagement and allows us to track impact.
