“I really enjoyed connecting with folks from diverse education backgrounds to see if we could come together for a common goal/project. It was great to get outside of my normal career bubble and engage with new ideas. Also, from someone still relatively early in their management career it was impactful for me to be able to see myself in a coaching role outside my organization and affirm the value I was able to provide to my team. I think it's a great growth opportunity for mentors to participate in the Wavemakers program and practice their leadership skills in new ways.”

Mikayla E., Wavemakers Mentor

“What I liked about the program was the unique focus on both future-proof skills and mentor-mentee relationships. Wavemakers made sure to induce a growth and inclusive learning environment. In addition to mentees, we mentors also developed skills which we can use in the workplace while working with teams, and in daily life.“
