The recent Mentoring Monday event in Kansas City attracted 311 mentees, emphasizing the importance of effective goal setting and leveraging mentor relationships. Keynote speaker Anna Papalia shared insights on following advice, encouraging mentees to view guidance as applicable to others to overcome biases. In a related initiative, a new girls' group at Brighton Academy aims to support middle school girls through mentoring sessions focused on personal development and financial literacy. Additionally, Sen. Dave McCormick and Dina Powell McCormick are launching a book and video series to inspire a national mentoring movement, highlighting the benefits of mentorship in overcoming the isolation felt during the COVID-19 pandemic. The growing demand for mentorship programs is reflected in the success of the Women’s Mentorship Programme, which recently matched 40 new mentees, indicating a strong interest in such initiatives. These various programs and publications underscore the critical role mentorship plays in personal and professional growth.
