Be mentored by four experienced and supportive WACL leaders
Our Talent Mentoring Programme is a national initiative that involves over 100 WACL members gifting their time to support the next generation of female leaders.
Increasing pressures on our time and energy mean many of us are looking for guidance. Whether it’s seeking the next step up, returning to the office or moving in a new direction, WACL offers unique access to women who have the lived experience to help.
The WACL Talent Mentoring Programme provides an opportunity to gain direct insight from the UK’s most experienced and inspirational leaders. Our communicators will listen and offer, with utter candour, the benefits of their extensive experience and life lessons.
What makes this mentoring programme special is you will have access to four one-hour sessions: each with a different WACL member, each with a different perspective and all dedicated to helping you fulfil your true potential.
