What Women in Tech Want 

We’ve been listening, and here’s what we hear.

 

I’m seeking a mentor. They should understand the challenges women face in fields like Data, AI, Cyber, Product, Leadership, or Engineering.

My company does not offer mentoring, where can I find mentors, and how do I approach them?

The cost of coaching programs is prohibitive. Are there more affordable options?

I can’t attend evening meetings. Can’t these programs offer more flexible scheduling?

I found it hard to trust the mentor I was matched with because they did not have the deep knowledge I wanted.

I was matched with a mentor who wasn’t a good fit for my personality or goals. Can the matching process be improved?

There needs to be more focus on overcoming imposter syndrome and feeling like I belong.

I’d appreciate guidance on navigating office politics and overcoming gender bias for promotion.

I’ve been paired with mentors at work, . I felt guilty for taking too much of their time

I’ve never found formal mentorships helpful. So, I developed a network of supportive women.

Why Mentoring on Demand?

 

I highly recommend and encourage you to join to discover your unique strengths and skills, and learn how to apply these as your unique perspectives and value in your work and life.
