The TWC Emerging Leaders Program is designed for high-potential women who are 6–12 years into their careers and are committed to growing as future leaders. Through a one-on-one mentoring relationship, mentees receive guidance, practical leadership insights, and support in navigating career growth, professional opportunities, and future leadership paths.
A core principle of the program is mentee ownership. The experience is intentionally mentee-driven, empowering participants to take an active role in setting goals, driving conversations, and maximizing their learning throughout the year.
The program is a 12-month commitment for a cohort of 15–20 women who demonstrate a passion for excellence, continuous growth, and leadership development. A diverse class of mentees is selected based on professional experience, industry, background, and leadership potential.
Throughout the 12-month program, The Women’s Collective provides the following:
-
- Quarterly leadership development programming
-
- Each mentee is paired with a senior level mentor who provides guidance, support and advice monthly throughout the 12‐month program.
-
- Mentees are invited and encouraged to attend annual TWC events at no cost.
Define It
Mentor leadership is the creation of a personal and professional development relationship between a leader, or mentor, and a person in the organization that demonstrates leadership potential. Mentoring is the act of sharing relevant insight and wisdom that accelerates the mentee’s personal and professional development.
Develop It
A mentor can help you develop important professional connections, expand your network personally and expose you to new opportunities professionally.
Be Dedicated to It
Sometimes it seems hard to get a mentor leadership program off the ground. It is ideal if your organization creates a clear strategy for mentor leadership opportunities. A thoughtful framework helps determine the guiding principles, clarifies reasons for the program, helps define the objectives, and creates a plan for implementation.
