Robyn helped me to understand my weakness and shared ideas on how to develop them. Every interaction with her was so powerful and I was able to implement her suggestions to real work situations immediately. Her ideas on some of the issues, I bought to her, helped me to develop myself especially during this critical time of change within our organization. I value Robyn's contribution to my development and would love to stay in touch. Thank you!

One major impact of this mentoring experience was that I became open to seeking help and insights from others. Previously, I considered myself self-driven to a point where I did not consider the benefits of having a mentor on my side. After participating in this program, not only do I have a newfound appreciation for mentorship, but I have also learned to take a look in the mirror and truly reflect on the type of leader I was, am and want to be going forward. I am now more eager than ever to explore my natural talents and continue to build on my current skill sets while being open to exploring opportunities which may sometimes take me out of my comfort zone. Peg has been an instrumental part of my growth over the last year. Peg's leadership experience and knowledge not only encouraged me throughout the year to lean into my own leadership qualities, but also helped me to take on opportunities of growth as they present themselves. Her openness to share her career high and low points also encouraged me to reflect on some of my own experiences and to stay motivated when things become tough while also never being complacent, even when things are going well. I truly appreciate the mentorship that Peg has provided to me during our time together and I am excited for others who may also have the pleasure of working with her in the future.

Julie has helped me grow in countless ways. We quickly built a deep connection which enabled us to share openly and honestly about our personal and professional lives. She has increased my confidence in the skills I have and helped me to appreciate my unique experiences and how they add value to my organization. She has helped me home in on opportunities and shared tools, resources, and experiences that can help me strengthen my skills so that I can continue to develop as a leader into the future. She has changed the way I think and work and has solidified in me a passion for continuous improvement. Julie has created in me a true commitment to managing my own time and calendar in a way that makes me successful, but also balances the reality of what is not in our control. I am so grateful for our time together and hopeful for continued connections as I believe we have become strong accountability partners for self care, advocacy, personal, and professional development. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me!

Thank you so much for pouring into me to make me a more wholistic leader. You've greatly broadened my perspective as a leader to not live in such a bubble of thinking. I've gained confidence to continue to lead with humility while setting boundaries.

After a decade of self-employment, I pivoted to Corporate America during the pandemic and was fortunate to participate in Menttium not long after joining my current company. If you’re unfamiliar with Menttium, know this: Nothing in this program happens by accident. Every step of the process is done with extreme precision and care, from placement to goal-setting to professional development. Through Menttium, I met a kind, caring, and considerate mentor who took time to get to know me and understand my goals. We met twice a month for one year, during which time she helped me acclimate to Corporate America, establish my brand, and pursue and achieve various personal and professional goals. When the program ended, we continued to meet every few months—and still do, as she remains a trusted advisor and friend. If your company gives you an opportunity to participate in Menttium, do not pass it up. Be intentional about your goals and what you want to achieve. You will get out what you put in, and if your experience is anything like mine, you will emerge a better professional and person.

Joyce is extremely patient, caring, and has a life history of learnings. I so value the time we've spent together and all the advice she has shared and taught me - teachings I will use in my professional and personal life. Most importantly, I am thankful for meeting Joyce - one I can call a friend!

Wendy's Mentoring has had a huge impact on my confidence in myself! Having a mentor from outside my company made it easy to trust that she truly had my best interests in mind. She helped me work on my Authentic Self Promotion and Executive Presence and these invaluable skills will help me accelerate in my career path! I have a whole different understanding of myself and my position in the company. I changed many of the initial answers in this survey and even laughed at a few of my responses. I assumed I was 'great" at many things and after this year I realize how far I have come in personal development.

I gained so much through this experience, but I think more than anything else I can say I am now more confident in myself than I was a year ago. My mentor helped me see that more often than not, my instincts on what to do are correct. I think I am also a better coach to others as a result of this experience. I greatly admire my mentor's vulnerability in sharing her own experiences to help me, and I aspire to be that open with people that seek my guidance, as well.

This program built great relationship with my mentor senior leader and gained his experiences that helped me to learn and implement in the current working culture. It increased my confidence and self awareness on executive presence and in all. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the incredible Menttium leadership program over the past year. It has truly been one of the best courses I've ever attended.

I am so thrilled to have met and learned from Ted in a life-changing way - I feel confident, understand where I still have work to do and believe I can get there, and have found ways to further influence at a leadership level in my organization that I don't think I would have been able to do without Ted's mentorship.

My mentor's wisdom, patience, and encouragement have made a significant impact on my personal and professional growth. My mentor shared her expertise, challenged me to think critically, probing into my own experiences and outcomes, while offering alternate mechanisms to change the outcome to a desired outcome. Her mentorship has been invaluable, and I am truly fortunate to have her as a guide.

Connie has been an incredible mentor and I am very appreciative. She is wise, insightful, and has definitely been invested in my growth and development. Connie's approach has truly helped me to reinforce and appreciate my strengths as well as helping me to grow in the ways that are most meaningful for me as an individual and a leader. As Connie has put it, I've been making "thoughtful adjustments." I have gained clarity and am excited about what I can deliver as a leader. I feel fortunate to have had Connie as my mentor and can't thank her enough. I will put to good use what I've learned.

My Menttium journey started approximately 20 years ago - how time flies! And each partnership has been unique: different goals, different industries, different professions. And yet they all had a common link - the desire to become more effective, both professionally and personally. For anyone considering being a mentor, know that you will come out being a better person - you learn from your mentee and it's a relationship that will be memorable. Menttium does an incredible job matching the mentee with the mentor.

Menttium’s Executive Mentoring Program allowed me the opportunity to partner with another executive outside of my industry, and comfort zone. My Mentor was invaluable as we talked about critical lessons he learned throughout his career – from transforming businesses, making major changes, understanding market dynamics, and addressing people issues. I would strongly recommend this program for anyone who is seeking a fresh perspective on how to approach their business challenges.

I have been involved with Menttium since 2000 and am a strong believer in this program. I have been amazed through the years at how effective virtual mentoring can be. I have learned a significant amount on how to be a good mentor that I have used in both my business and personal life. Most important, I have learned so much through the partnerships I have had and the input and thoughts of the mentees I have worked with. It is an incredibly rewarding experience.

Caroline "got" me and my world, and she did so really quickly. This meant that we could dive into real work situations and work through them together, which was extremely valuable - I could use the products of our conversations immediately. Caroline has an ability to analyze issues and does so with great objectivity, and great care. This, combined with her clear thinking and language, helped me articulate both challenges and solutions in ways I wouldn't have otherwise.

Sarah Hunt | Thrivent Financial

Roz has been an incredible help through many of my professional challenges. She shared her own personal experiences to help me put to practical use. She is not only well respected in the business community, but also has great talent to share.

Nadine Hauf | UnitedHealth Group

My mentor was incredibly valuable in helping me to think through actions and approaches I could take to help improve my overall performance. He listened to what my priorities were and helped to define a path to achieve my objectives. He was there for me when I needed and was focused on what I needed to get out of the relationship. He was a pleasure to work with.

Kathy was highly supportive in assisting me in the achievement of my goals. She demonstrated strong listening skills and offered valuable, actionable advice. I benefited tremendously from her perspectives specifically relating to foundational leadership behaviors and relationship building.

Patricia Hall | Discover Financial Services

I was able to look at myself and my goals more holistically. If I think about a turning point, it was probably during the Menttium mentoring program. It was a great journey for me. It made a difference.

Jennifer Meyer | UnitedHealth Group

Having been a mentor with Menttium for over 10 years, I have seen the transformative changes the Menttium experience can bring to both the mentee and the mentor. Being personally engaged in helping others realize their career goals, learning to manage through challenging situations -- and then "giving back" to others is truly amazing.
