What Participants Are Saying ...

“When given the opportunity to participate in a mentorship pilot program with ConnexFM, I was thrilled to join as a mentee. I got questioned as to why a mentee and maybe re-think my decision and be a mentor. My reason is...we all have room to grow, to learn more, every single day. I want more. I have unofficially and honestly naturally, been a mentor over the years and loved it but this time, I wanted more for me. I wanted to focus on being more strategic and becoming a better leader which led me to my now mentor, Kenneth Jones! I was able to choose who I thought would be a great fit for me. If you are thinking about being a mentor or mentee, I recommend you go for it! Don't hold back on your personal or professional growth!”

– Jessica Fumo, Visionworks of America, ConnexFM Member

“Mentorship is one of the most important aspects of personal and professional development. A mentor is there to guide you through the obstacles that inevitably arise while growing in your position and industry - not only acting as a sounding board, but a teacher. Mentorship is a rewarding experience for both parties involved.”

– Jenna Dominguez, Branded-Group, ConnexFM Member

My mentor, Nicki, has been truly exceptional. She is very approachable and always ready to offer thoughtful advice. She shows genuine interest in my life, my career, and my overall progress towards my goals, creating a supportive and encouraging environment when we meet. This mentorship program has been instrumental in helping me work toward my goals, and my mentor’s guidance has been invaluable for navigating professional challenges as they arise as well as answering any questions I have.

– Dani Smith, IDENTITI, ConnexFM Member
