We believe Elevate has created something truly special. This year, our CEO, Sarah-Jane Benham, had the privilege of becoming an Elevate mentor, where she was paired with her mentee, Vicki Coleman. Throughout the experience, SJ discovered that mentoring is a two-way street, with huge value not just for the mentee but also for the mentor. Her biggest takeaway? How much growth, inspiration, and insight a mentor gains from guiding and supporting someone on their journey. Applications for 2025 are open. See the links below. #NationalMentoringDay #ElevateMentoring #KruLive #WeBelieveInTheExperience
Today, on National Mentoring Day, we’re celebrating one of the many Elevate success stories we've had this year. Vicki Coleman Colman, Director of Business Development at Tobacco Dock, says that her mentor, Sarah-Jane Benham, CEO of Kru Live, is the bee’s knees. She feels like she lucked out getting matched with her and has learned so much this year. SJ said she also felt lucky to be matched with Vicki, and that Vicki already knew all the answers. Both Vicki and SJ shared that they got so much out of the Elevate mentoring experience. It’s been an absolute joy to see this pairing thrive and witness the relationship they have built. We’re really proud of all our mentoring partnerships and the connections formed through Elevate this year, and we can’t wait to share more stories (we have lots of them). The support of a great mentor can change lives and careers!
