Recap

🤔 “A great mentor doesn’t just guide your next step — they help you see what’s possible and encourage you to reach higher.”

One of the flagship programs of ProWoc is our mentoring program which has been running since 2020. Last week we were thrilled to hold a ProWoc Mentoring Touchpoint Workshop facilitated by ProWoc member and Leadership Development Coach, Beth Jenson, MA, PCC

🌟 Through hands-on activities and networking, mentors and mentees, as well as those interested in mentoring, found new energy and direction for their relationships.

🎯 Here are some of the takeaways:
Mentoring is a Two-Way Exchange:
It’s not a top-down transfer of knowledge but a mutual learning process where both mentor and mentee bring valuable insight.

Redefining Expertise:
The “knowledge bearer” isn’t defined by age or years of experience but by the relevance and depth of their understanding in a given area.

Mutual Growth Mindset:
Curiosity, openness, and humility are essential to creating meaningful mentoring relationships.

🎯 We also learnt about the power of Purpose of Reflection to build clarity, perspective, and self-awareness using mentorship as both a source of shared learning and a mirror for personal growth.

One helpful exercise for reflection is the “Coffee with Your Future Self” Exercise:
It is a reflective activity inviting participants to imagine a conversation with themselves 10 years from now, asking:
– What are you most proud of?
– What do you regret?
– What does thriving look like for you?

🧡 Heartfelt thank you to Beth and our amazing attendees for your insightful questions, and positive engagement.

🙏🏽 A huge thank you also to our partners at Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke / ActionAid Denmark for making us feel at home in their warm venue 🤩
