This is an in-person event. The official start of Cohort 3. Meet your match, set your intentions, and begin six months of growth together.
This is where it all begins. The WomenWise Mentoring Launch Breakfast is the official kick-off for Cohort 3 - bringing together mentors and mentees for the first time to meet their match, set their goals, and step into six months of intentional growth.
Over this morning, you'll connect with your mentor or mentee, hear from women who've been through the programme before and leave with a clear sense of what the next six months can hold for you.
Attendance is mandatory for all Cohort 3 participants. This morning sets the foundation for everything that follows.
