WHAT IS IT:

Women’s Visibility Week is a 3-day breakfast event for women in business to connect with aspiring and relatable women mentors. Every day is hosted by a different company in a different field (marketing, tech, general business and leadership), you can join for one mornings. And this year we’ve added 2 live lunch time online podcast sessions where we’re digging deeper into the subject of Women in Leadership and on how Mentoring Matters.

This cross-company mentorship program was created from the belief that “you can’t be what you can’t see”. It’s a way to develop women leaders in a group environment, enable the exchange of lessons learned from experience, garner first-hand advice from today’s women leaders and discuss topics that will accelerate women’s full potential.

WHY WE’RE DOING THIS

Climbing the career ladder is harder for women. Connecting with real life women role models is important because, having a role model can help us define our career. They make women more ambitious and aim higher. Furthermore, role models set an example for mindsets and behaviors to rise in our careers. Mentoring programs facilitate the development of the leadership skills that allow women to step towards top positions. Here are 4 ways mentoring can benefit women:

1. It helps to articulate your career ambitions
2. It lets you stay on track of the goals you want to achieve
3. We’re creating this in a group environment so you can build a fab network
4. Meeting other ambitious like-minded women will help you gain confidence

It’s all about sisterhood having the right circle of women around you makes you feel more confident.
