A notable example of mentorship in action is the‘ Lean In Circles’, where small groups within an organisation meet regularly to share experiences, seek advice and build each other up.

Equipping yourself with resilience as a pathway to growth
Resilience is more than a personal trait; it ' s a skill, a tool and a cultural value. For women at any level of their career( and personal life for that matter), resilience provides a framework for moving beyond setbacks. It ' s about creating an environment where mistakes are learning opportunities and where individuals feel empowered to try again.
Trust me, even though falling often feels like a skydive, it does get easier.
So next time something goes wrong, remember: Resilience isn’ t about perfection or avoiding failure. It’ s about having the courage to fall, pick yourself up, learn, adapt and keep moving forward.
