Mentor Walks Dubai: Get guidance and grow your network
Mentor Walks Dubai offers a unique opportunity to connect with experienced mentors and expand your professional network. Here's what it's about:
WHAT’S A WALK?
The concept is simple: You and up to two other aspiring women spend an invigorating hour walking and talking along Kite Beach with an exceptional female mentor. It’s a supportive space to tackle career progression, discuss work worries, workshop challenges and build connections. It’s for any type of career conversation, and for any stage in your career.
WHY WALK?
It’s career conversations with exceptional women: We connect you with the leaders in Dubai who have walked the path. They are the inspirational CEOs, Founders, Executives and Directors who want to back the women in their community to keep moving forward. Along with other striving and emerging mentees, it’s a powerful hour.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Clarity and connection: Walk to get a clearer vision of your next steps and a renewed sense of confidence propelling you towards tangible progress. This is gained from the invaluable insights from outstanding leaders, effortlessly shared during a casual walk, transforming challenges into manageable opportunities. As importantly, an expanded network, forged by connecting with like-minded women with shared similar experiences. With every walk, meet more women supporting your journey, turning networks into impactful connections.
