💡 The WomenWise Mentoring Programme 2025 is officially in motion 🚀

Over warm croissants and even warmer conversation, we brought together this year's cohort for a breakfast launch!!

We opened with one simple Slido question: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

The responses were brilliant:
🧠 “The time will pass anyway - do it.”
🧠 “Never compare your beginning with someone’s middle.”
🧠 “You don’t need to know it all - just go for it.”
🧠 “Take up space.”
🧠 “Your network is your net worth.”

The beauty of this programme is that it brings together people who might never otherwise meet - from different companies, cultures, roles, and stages in their careers - and gives them a space to have the conversations that don’t usually happen in a Zoom meeting or an office.

And judging by the energy in the room, it’s already working:
🗣 “It was great to kick off by connecting on a human level - not just job titles and roles.”
🗣 “So inspiring to meet people from different backgrounds who’ve had similar experiences.”
🗣 “I felt genuinely empowered just hearing other people’s stories.”

Massive thank you to our partners at Artefact, and to Francesca Platì, Louise Frémy, and Hester Ho for helping us create a launch that felt thoughtful, generous, and full of intent.

To this year’s cohort: we’re just getting started!! 🚀
