FAQ
At Leadogo, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. It’s why we exist. We’re built around making learning and development accessible to all demographics. The Leadogo Power Women Mentoring Program is designed for young professional women actively looking to advance their careers. Whether you want to enhance specific skills as an individual contributor or accelerate your leadership skills as an aspiring or new manager, this program is for you.
Selection into the program is based on several different factors:
-
Number of available mentors. We intentionally keep
the mentor numbers intimate and manageable so that we can
create the most effective and enlightening experience
possible for all mentees. We believe in a high touch,
personalized approach so every mentee gains the most she
possibly can from being a part of the program.
-
Connection with the mentor. It’s imperative the
relationship between mentor and mentee is a good fit. We listen
to feedback from mentees about their introductions to the
mentors as part of the in-depth application process.
-
Desired growth and development. Everyone’s goals are
absolutely worthwhile and we encourage everyone to run after
what’s most important to them. We look at what each of our
applicants want to achieve and pair that with the knowledge and
expertise of our mentors to ensure maximized growth and
development.
- Geography. Leadogo has a global footprint and as part of a high touch experience, we want to ensure time zone coordination makes sense for everyone. We’re very intentional about pairing mentors and mentees so that calendar coordination doesn't become a barrier to effective communication and connection.
Not to worry! At Leadogo, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity for growth and development. We plan to keep this powerful community going with additional cohorts run about every 2 months as well as provide other opportunities to get involved with Leadogo in other ways. If you’re not selected for the current cohort , you certainly won’t be forgotten. Team Leadogo will continue to communicate with you and keep you up-to-date on plans for additional cohorts along with our other products and services that might be of interest to you.
