Tips to Leverage Mentorship to Lift Underrepresented Professionals

About this session

For any professional, navigating career growth comes with its challenges. When you add the unique experience that underrepresented professionals have, navigating a professional path can become even more complicated.

That’s why mentorship is key to helping ease the path for underrepresented individuals. They operate as a beacon of light for mentees by leveraging their professional experience to provide guidance, constructive feedback, and even growth opportunities to others.

Join our conversation with Limor Bergman, Mentor and Director of Product Business Development at PowerToFly, as we discuss the importance of fostering mentorship programs inside your organization, and how they can help you improve the professional experience of underrepresented talent.

During this chat, we’ll talk about:

  • What a mentorship program looks like
  • How mentorship benefits underrepresented professionals
  • How it can boost your team’s performance and increase your internal engagement
