FAQs for the mentorship program

Can anyone be a mentor/mentee?

Generally, only people who are subscribed to our membership plan can be mentors or mentees. But, we also have Ambassadors and other top-level execs who join as just mentors.

How many hours do I have to commit to?

It's entirely up to you! You set the pace based on what you’re comfortable with. Whether you can only commit an hour a week or a month, that’s perfectly fine.

Will I have to include weekends?

Not at all. You choose which days you want to speak with your mentor. So, you can certainly choose a Monday to Friday schedule, or add in weekends if you prefer. 

How does matching work?

We use a matching algorithm to help pair mentors and mentees.

The algorithm pairs people across the whole program using your chosen criteria. This helps reduce unconscious bias and makes it easy to create strong matches at scale.

What if I don't get on with my mentor?

No worries - sometimes the first match isn’t the right fit.

If that happens, you can be paired up with a new match in the next matching cycle.

How will the communication side of things work?

Most of the communication can take place in the chat room when you become a pair on the platform - including the first meeting. Then, you're welcome to meet again however you prefer going forward.

Can I be a mentor and mentee?

Absolutely! Being an expert in one area doesn't mean you can't improve in another.
