Big THANK YOU to our Mentors & Mentees!

As we welcome the Spring, we would like to update you with the latest mentoring program updates!

First of all, we thank our mentors and mentees who are participating in our mentoring program and a wholehearted journey with another amazing woman. THANK YOU! We have reached more than 350 mentoring matches with over 160 mentors in our sisterhood network. As you know, we are the proud partner of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development's (EBRD) Women in Business Mentoring Program since 2015. As the program's mentoring partner, we have matched 80 women entrepreneurs from 15 different cities across Turkey with amazing mentors from the TurkishWIN network. The results inspire us!

We have recently and successfully concluded the Avon Mentoring Program where we matched Avon Area Sales Managers with female university students who would like to pursue a career in sales. We have completed 15 matches in different cities including Antalya, Aydın, Urfa, İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Kayseri. Our reverse mentoring pilot with five CampusWINners is on its way. We cannot wait to roll it out to the entire TurkishWIN membership.

We are thrilled and so proud to announce that the TurkishWIN Mentoring Program has been accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). EMCC exists to develop, promote and set the expectation of best practice in mentoring and coaching across Europe and beyond. We thank our mentors and mentees who have helped us improve our program with continious feedback. A special thanks goes to RNA Change Management for the guidance and support. This accreditation, like everything else at TurkishWIN, is a result of our collective sisterhood in action.

Last but not least, as a mentor of the TurkishWIN Mentoring Program that is accredited by the EMCC, you can become a EMCC certified mentor by applying to the EMCC for your mentor accreditation.

Don't take it personally if your mentee does not take your advice.

Don't make promises you may not keep.
