Transformative Mentorship: How Leading Others Makes You Better
In this spoken segment, the speaker reflects on how both being a mentee and a mentor has driven personal growth and enhanced leadership abilities. They recount experiences from the Girls Club program, where three male mentors from diverse industries challenged them to articulate ideas and complete tasks such as writing a LinkedIn article, which sparked a sense of accomplishment and a desire for continual learning. The speaker also describes how mentoring others, particularly through the Girls Who Sell program, reveals mentees' distinct gifts and problem‑solving approaches. Role‑play sales exercises in that program serve as concrete learning moments, illustrating how observing and engaging with mentees’ perspectives further refines the mentor’s skills.
