Mentoring

Mentoring is recognised as cost-effective and impactful way to prepare future business leaders. In the past years 60% of people who participated in a PWN mentoring programme have gone on to achieve their life change goal, including promotions and career changes. This could be the start of the rest of your life!   

PWN Lisbon’s mentoring program pairs together mentees, PWN members, with mentors that are references in their areas. The program is designed for three different segments of seniority, from board ready women to those taking their first steps in their professional career.

The mentees work with their mentor to set and achieve goals during 8-12 monthly sessions.
They have the support of a team that accompanies the pair as needed and organizes get-togethers aimed at networking and sharing.

The program has grown significantly given its result orientation and mentors report that learning is mutual.

If you are a PWN Member, you will be eligible to join our highly regarded mentoring program. Find more information here.
