'Oh the places you will go' (Thanks Dr. Seuss).

Our simple 3-step process over the course of 10 weeks enables your time with your mentor to be practical, meaningful and fun.

In the sessions you will cover:

  • Me today: Exploring your identity. Who you are today.
  • Me in the future: Goal setting. Who you want to be. Where do you want to go in life?
  • Guiding my path: What are the values that guide your choices.

We've done the hard work for you (or some of it at least).

Finding the people that you admire, who are accomplished in the areas of life that you value – be they personal or professional – and most importantly convincing them to spend their time helping you… well it can be grueling!

But we do the hard work for you. We identify the right mentor for you based on a wide number of criteria and considerations. We make the approach, facilitate the introductions, and help to guide the sessions to make them super productive.
