Why is mentoring so important?

Mentoring is a cornerstone for advancement in any industry. It is especially valuable in Commercial Real Estate, which relies heavily on leveraging relationships. The knowledge exchanged enables mentors and mentees to build upon the shared experiences of others and advance their careers.

How does the mentoring programme work?

 Our programme is flexible, supportive and impactful.  Mentees select the mentors that they would like to connect with and learn from, allowing mentees to build their network on their terms.

Our participants connect with their cohort through the programme, building a valuable network of peers.

" Being a mentee on the Connects Mentorship programme allowed me to connect with a range of different mentors, who all provided different perspectives. I used the sessions to learn about the career journeys of my mentors, and to better understand where I am at this point of my career and how I can progress.

My mentors provided me with valuable insights and advice that enabled me to really think about my career path in the future and how to achieve that. These really helped me in shaping my career goals in this early stage of my career and hopefully achieving them in the future. I am excited to now be on the Mentorship Committee, sharing my experiences with new mentees joining the programme. ”

" Being a mentor for CREW UK has been such a fulfilling experience for me. The knowledge I gained as a past mentee, has enabled me to support those navigating their own career paths. The Connects Mentorship programme provides such a strong platform for both mentees and mentors to share valuable skills, instilling a sense of empowerment, and evidencing the transformative power of mentorship.

I have absolutely loved guiding and advising my mentees. By actively listening to their experiences, ideas, and ambitions, I hope I have provided new perspectives to approach their challenges with, and instilled confidence as they take the next steps in their careers. It has been a pleasure to mentor such aspiring women, and I can’t wait to support them as they achieve their ambitions in 2024! ”
