LeadHERtrades is a 10 month female mentorship program that will launch in October 2021.

This mentorship program is comprised of virtual monthly one-on-one meetings between Matches, as well as a monthly virtual session covering a carefully selected list of topics. These sessions will be facilitated by women who are experts in their fields, participating as LeadHERHosts.

The Participants:
Mentors: Seasoned women in trades and construction with diverse experience will lend their time and expertise to their Mentee.
Mentees: New women in trades and construction seeking professional development and personal growth.

  • The Structure

    • Each mentorship program will have up to a maximum of 24 participants, comprised of up to 12 Matches : a Mentor and a Mentee. 
    • Each Match will meet on a regular predetermined schedule (usually once per month), and following the course content, will have a monthly topic provided for discussion. 
    • Zoominar and webinar presentations will be offered monthly, based on course content. As well, there will be additional resources provided for more in-depth learning and discussion.
    • The goal of the content for LeadHERtrades is to give the Mentor-Mentee Matches substantive content to encourage a fulsome discussion about important and relevant topics.

  • Application Process

    • Mentees will be required to submit an application for a place in this program. Once accepted, she will complete a questionnaire to enable us to make the best Match and ensure everyone reaches their goals for this experience.
    • Mentors will be recruited based on their experience, passion and commitment to the benefit of mentoring and empowering young women.  Each will complete a Mentor Profile to ensure we make the best possible match.
    • Both mentor and mentee will sign an understanding of engagement outlining the roles and responsibilities of each participant.

MESSAGE FROM 

LeadHERalliance Founder

CYNTHIA O'NEILL


I have always been passionate about mentoring; I received immense benefits from my own mentors over my lifetime and also have been privileged to mentor many aspiring young people.


I am confident that a one-to-one mentorship program can have an outsized effect: women who are mentees will continue to apply what they have learned across their careers, creating a global Impact over time. 


Let’s continue this momentum, and as women let’s mentor and lift up other women, helping them to grow, excel and advance more effectively. Mentorship can also, when done right, create an invaluable close-knit network for women, across all ages and industries.


LeadHERalliance will be transformative. Together we can break the cycle that continues to exclude women from professional growth and success, and create greater social access and business opportunities by investing our time and talent into our future leaders.


Let’s do this today.


Cynthia O'Neill, Founder LeadHERalliance
