(h)er Stories

Jennifer (&) Erica

Erica recently completed a post-secondary degree and came to Lead(h)er looking for a mentor who can help her translate the things she is passionate about into her professional life. She was hoping we could match her with someone who is confident both personally and professionally, and who is willing to offer guidance and advice.

Meredith (&) Rhonda

"I look forward to my time with Rhonda because she is so happy to help me and wants to see me grow. She has so much knowledge and is so willing to share everything she has learned. She is a very kind woman with a huge heart to serve.

Jacki (&) Jen

While you might strike a match over a professional topic, we welcome the times when you're able to have a good time while you fuel career and community engagement!

Kate (&) Stephanie

Stephanie encouraged me from the beginning of our mentor/mentee relationship to take steps not leaps and was able to help me see the value in job prospects and opportunities outside of what I had wanted more clearly.

Kathleen (&) Claire

While Kathleen was identified as the mentor when the two were matched, they have discovered that the real work of mentoring allows both people to move in and out of each rol

Beth (&) Madelyn

I love that Madelyn is the age of my children, and despite the age difference we have much in common...The other day we were discussing the need for discipline when writing. Set aside specific times and places conducive to tapping our creativity

Michele (&) Olivia

Over and over, they tell us that they get just as much out of mentoring as they give to it. Michele's story is no different and we are so grateful she shared it with us!

Rachel (&) Kara

Kara and Rachel's match story highlights the impact of having an expanded circle of influence. Rachel's shared connections fueled a new professional opportunity for Kara... one that she might not have uncovered on her own.

Angie (&) Janessa - 1 Year Update

However, what I'm learning is that the "Mentor"/"Mentee" labels are just that - labels. In all of our matches, we learn from each other, we teach each other, we lean on each other, and we work with each other to take steps towards our goals, take heart in how to become better people/workers/women, and take pride in the community around us and what it can offer us

Holly (&) Cassie

Cassie has taught me so much about being real and giving selflessly to others. Her future is so bright and I’m so proud of how much she’s achieved in the short time we’ve been matched
