Grow in awareness of their own strengths and in self-confidence, and gain support and validation that doesn’t come from hierarchy or family
Develop skills in leadership, planning, and communication through shared expertise
Understand markets, partnerships, and scaling, and get inspiration for their business and social engagement
Learn how to shift from facing constraints to strengthening their own agency and what is possible in a world often led by men
Build courage to hold and use both tradition and ambition, and setpersonal and professional boundaries and standards without guilt
Benefits for mentors

Are reminded how leadership is rooted in community and resilience
Broaden their horizons and transform perspectives in a fast-changing, multi-cultural world
