Mentor Connect Launch

Presented by Grow Your Network

Wednesday 27th October- Zoom
Hosted by Claire Foy and Kimberly Carlos.

As we continue our efforts to build a culture of Cayman Connection members supporting each other to succeed, please join us at this Virtual Yard Meeting to learn about being a mentor or mentee and how you can get involved.

This programme is about forging connections between professionals in various fields, and members seeking advice, support and guidance related to these fields. Cayman Connection understands the importance of having a network of knowledgeable persons to call upon, regardless of where you are on your career path, as well as the fulfillment that assisting others in reaching their full potential brings. The relationship between mentor and mentee is mutually beneficial, as each gains insight and knowledge from the other, an invaluable opportunity for growth on both sides.

Mentor Connect is open to persons in the UK, Cayman, USA and beyond, who work in any number of areas including, but not limited to: finance, law, medicine, health and wellness, IT, logistics, marketing, media, education, tourism, business management, arts and culture, food and beverage, and more.

Mentees

Having a mentor can be the most important addition to your network when you are trying to make decisions, build your future, reflect on your next steps or have the door ‘nudged’ open for you, or just be shown the way. Mentors bring with them skills, knowledge and experience in particular fields, so it is important you know what you want from them. It is settling in the UK, finding work, moving back to Cayman, starting your own business…. it has to be ‘your goal’.

We will match you with a mentor most suited to your needs. The Mentor Connect Programme will run for 6 months and you will meet with your mentor for at least two hours per month (virtually or in person). After that, if it’s working for you both of course you can continue as much or as little as you want. If nothing else you will have a new friend in your network.

Mentors

Being a mentor is a valuable and rewarding way to give back and pass on a few life experiences. If you have, skills, knowledge and experience in a particular area and would be willing to share those with someone, mentoring may be just right for you. We are looking for business owners, professionals, UK residents, parents, ex-pats, in-pats, restaurateurs, singers, doctors, nurses, actors….the list goes on, but you get the drift. We are looking for all kind and caring individuals who would like to help others out a little with their future.

As a mentor, you would be expected to meet with your mentee for a minimum of two hours a month for 6 months. After that, the relationship is between you and therefore up to you if you continue.
