“I was thrilled to be matched with two peer mentees and a mentor. During our time together, one peer mentee got a promotion, another learned tools to better connect with peers, and I learned the value of working smarter -- with more intent and focus. Each of us, including our mentor, learned how to redefine workplace success,” said mentee Morieka Johnson, Senior Communications Manager, Cox Media Group. Johnson’s peers included of Rose Catherin, Sales Development Manager - Healthcare, of Solvay Specialty Polymers and Lauren Whipple, Senior Manager, Consumer Marketing of Purchasing Power, LLC. Her mentor was Natalie Pierce.
Women who participated in the program covered a core program curriculum including developing a corporate image and persona, mapping career paths, identifying skill gaps, improving communication skills, building credibility and influence and understanding the unwritten rules that guide an organization.
Mentors also learned from the curriculum and addressing the topics with their mentees during the group mentoring sessions. “I learned a great deal from my mentees. It’s exciting to see them grow but it’s more exciting to realize that I’m learning and I’m becoming a better leader by interacting with them,” said mentor Carolina Moreschi, Head of Global Organizational & Leadership Development, Equifax, Inc. The women in Moreschi’s mentoring group were Caroline Grubbs, Manager, Employee Experience, RaceTrac Petroleum, Inc., Mariel Turnbull, Quality Assurance Coordinator, Gas South, LLC and Iche Wallace, Supervisor, Revenue Accounting, McKesson Corporation.
