Mentee
If you are going through a transitional time in your life – for example, undergoing fertility treatment, returning from maternity leave, dealing with baby loss or navigating menopause – you should not have to pretend that nothing is happening. TALO wants to break the taboo & open up a conversation about women’s experiences, so that every woman can feel informed, supported and thrive professionally.
TALO will provide you with an industry relevant mentor who has recently been through the same experience as you. Your mentor is there to offer opinion, support and guidance, and to use her own experiences to help you navigate through yours.
TALO matches women according to three criteria:
Professional background
Personal experience
Values and outlook- both career and outside of work
Finding the right mentor is a four-step process:
Tell us about the challenges you are facing and the concerns you have
Choose a mentor from a curated list
Arrange an introductory chat with your mentor
If you are happy with the match, then book in your mentoring sessions
