Testimonials
“Mentorship has the benefit of unearthing real issues and challenges that the mentee and mentor can work on. It can open up a safe space for meaningful conversations. I have benefited from some amazing mentors throughout my career. And, today I see it as a powerful tool to support talent from marginalized and diverse backgrounds and ensure their success in our industry.”
Patrick Bhang, Marketing Leader, Royal Bank of Canada
"Mentorship has been a valuable opportunity for me to not only give back to the profession but contribute to opportunities for under represented marketing talent. Developing diverse talent in our profession keeps our industry healthy, innovative, and competitive."
Barry Alexander, Marketing Leader, Canadian Marketing Association
"As an immigrant, mentorship has been pivotal to my career development. A great mentor does more than just share knowledge, they unlock potential, foster resilience, and illuminate paths you might not have ventured on your own. And having a great mentor creates a virtuous cycle of kindness, inspiring you to spend your life wanting to be that person for others"
Varun Chandrasekar, Marketing Leader, Scotiabank
“As a newcomer, mentorship was one of the key ways in which I received the much needed guidance and advice. I had the privilege and honor of being mentored by some amazing leaders and learning from their experiences. My mentors instilled confidence in me and helped me prepare for the Canadian work place.”
