Impact Frontiers’ Post

I was honored to be a guest speaker at the launch of the Ekcians GreenLyf Foundation's GreenLyf Climate Career Mentorship Programme! , where I shared my insights on how mentorship can shape lives and careers. Thank you Samuel Kusasira for entrusting me with this responsiblity. Reflecting on my own journey, I am reminded of how mentorship has been a cornerstone of my growth and a powerful ripple effect created by investing in others. So, what makes a mentorship relationship impactful? Here are some key lessons: ✅ Mutual Respect: The foundation of trust, empathy, and open communication. ✅ Clear Expectations: Setting goals, roles, and boundaries from the start. ✅ Active Listening: Fully engaging, asking thoughtful questions, and seeking feedback. ✅ Embracing Vulnerability: Creating a safe space for experimentation, growth, and learning from failures. ✅ Consistency and Commitment: Regular check-ins, honoring commitments, and maintaining a long-term perspective. To all the mentors and mentees out there: mentorship is a two-way street, a journey of mutual learning, growth, and empowerment. Let’s continue to pay it forward, build meaningful connections, and inspire transformation, one relationship at a time. What has been the most impactful mentorship advice you’ve received, or how has mentorship shaped your journey? Let’s share and inspire each other in the comments below!

"As we welcome the New Year, let’s reflect on the power of mentorship – an exchange of wisdom across generations. 🌟 Mentorship is more than guidance – it’s a partnership where each perspective, whether seasoned or fresh, contributes to a shared vision of growth and success. It’s a transformative journey that uplifts individuals, strengthens organizations, and creates ripples of positive impact in communities and society as a whole. For Yourself: Mentorship fosters personal fulfillment and growth, offering a chance to learn, teach, and leave a lasting legacy. For Organizations: It nurtures leadership, innovation, and collaboration, building resilient and dynamic teams. For Communities: It breaks barriers, inspires action, and empowers individuals to dream boldly and contribute meaningfully. For Society: It promotes equity, amplifies diverse voices, and drives lasting generational change. Here’s to making mentorship a cornerstone of our New Year’s resolutions. Let’s inspire one another, foster multigenerational connections, and shape a brighter future – together. The year ahead is full of opportunities for learning and growth. Let’s seize them, one mentoring conversation at a time. 🥂✨ #Mentorship #NewYear2024 #GenerationalWisdom #SharedSuccess #GrowthTogether"

✨ Reflecting on Growth: My Takeaways from the WiBD Emerging Technologist Circle ✨ Over the past 12 weeks, I have had the privilege of participating in the WiBD Emerging Technologist Circle program—a transformative experience that has shaped my career outlook and personal growth. Here are some of my key takeaways: 1️⃣ Finding My Tribe: I connected with an incredible group of women who are navigating similar stages in their careers. Our candid conversations provided fresh perspectives on handling challenges that many of us face. Their shared insights and experiences enriched me, and I’m so grateful to have built these meaningful relationships. 2️⃣ Guidance from Inspiring Facilitators: A huge shoutout to our facilitators, Deborah Sgro and Josephine Porrazzo, who shared actionable advice on critical skills like concise communication, networking, self-advocacy, and interviewing. Their guidance gave me clarity and tangible steps to grow professionally. 3️⃣ The Rewarding ‘Comfy Chair’ Activity: One of the most impactful elements of the program was the Comfy Chair activity, where I could ask a pressing career question to the group. The collective wisdom and shared experiences of the participants helped me gain insights and ideas to navigate my challenges. Being part of this program reminded me of the importance of peer mentoring and a strong support network for personal and professional growth. It’s not just about learning new skills but also about gaining the confidence to take on the next steps in our journey.

As someone who has gone through this program and helped lead it, the learning truly never ends. At CapTech, we don't expect it to. This program turned my whole personal DIB journey on its head and I haven't been the same since, truly forever changed. Breaking away from traditional mentorship programs, CapTech’s Reverse Mentorship Program (RMP) allows junior employees to guide senior leaders through thought-provoking discussions centered around the company’s Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) efforts.

In the journey of life, we all need someone who believes in us, guides us, and inspires us to reach our full potential. For many young people, that someone is a mentor. Mentorship isn't just about sharing knowledge; it's about building relationships, fostering growth, and instilling confidence in the next generation. It's about being a sounding board, a cheerleader, and a role model all rolled into one. Through mentorship, young people gain valuable insights, learn from the mistakes of others, and develop the skills and resilience needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. Whether it's navigating career choices, overcoming obstacles, or seizing opportunities, having a mentor by your side can make all the difference. So, let's celebrate the power of mentorship and its transformative impact on the lives of young people. Let's commit to being mentors ourselves or supporting mentorship programs in our communities. Together, we can nurture the potential of the next generation. Nurture Mentorship

✨ Kicking off the week with a rewarding experience! ✨ Today, I had the privilege of presenting to the incredible Year Up United students here in Atlanta on Effective Communication and its Role in Project Management. I want to say a huge thank you to Latasha A. for the incredible opportunity and of course Gleeds' very own Juliana Rezende for coordinating internally. We covered: 🔹 Core principles of effective communication 🔹 The conscious process from sender to receiver 🔹 Barriers to effective communication and how to mitigate them 🔹 Building trust and rapport through communication 🔹 Persuasion and influence 🔹 Cultural sensitivity in a globalized world 🔹 Conflict resolution I was truly impressed by the students' genuine curiosity, thoughtful questions, and level of engagement throughout the session. A huge thank you to all the students for making this such an inspiring and interactive experience! 🙌 Year Up’s mission resonates with me. They firmly believe in the potential of all young adults—removing barriers, unlocking untapped talent, and bridging the Opportunity Divide that persists in society. Their work ensures that companies don’t overlook the incredible talent that’s right in front of them. As the demand for skilled talent continues to grow, Year Up is reshaping the world of work to make opportunity accessible for everyone, not just a select few. 🌟 To all my connections, I encourage US-based companies to get involved with this awesome initiative. Together, we can make a real difference and empower the next generation. 💡 #YearUp #EffectiveCommunication #ProjectManagement #OpportunityForAll #LeadershipDevelopment
