Global Mentoring Program
She Leads is a Global Mentorship program, managed by She Loves Data, designed to help upcoming female managers who are at the crossroads of their careers to develop their leadership trajectory through dedicated coaching from an experienced senior mentor. The mentors, in turn, have the opportunity to get perspectives from the younger leaders through reverse mentorship.

Program Overview:
SheLeads is a global mentoring program. Cohort 2 kicks off in July with a virtual launch for mentor-mentee pairings from our global community. Mentors from SLD’s network of experienced senior leaders will each be matched to a mentee, and will meet virtually (or in person), at least once a month for 5 months.
A nominal fee of SGD 85 will be paid by all selected mentees for the entire module.
What makes our mentorship program unique?
* Highly experienced and committed Mentors: women and men who have reached the top through inspiring leadership, skillful navigation of organisational terrains and yes, data-driven decision making.
* Focused on female Mentees who are looking to progress into leadership positions, but may be “stuck”, unsure about their capabilities, or need clarity with the way forward.
* Beyond G-R-O-W Mentoring: Though GROW is a popular framework for coaching, we will also encourage our participants to explore reverse mentoring and other mentoring trends.
* Compact but high impact: sessions will be goal-driven, customized and prescriptive, within a 5 month coaching period.
