Dear #W4S Community,

October is the month we celebrate “Mentoring” Globably, and that's why we organized a beautiful meeting with amazing mentors, facilitated by Leticia Centurión from the Global Network of Mentors. We know that mentoring is an empowerment tool, but we asked ourselves: How does mentoring contribute to female empowerment and leadership?

In a world that promotes destructive habits, mentoring is a tool to feel loved, accompanied and guided. Viola Edward, mentor, uses the phrase "we have to work on ourselves" to illustrate that we are in constant change and improvement, and need others in this process.

Mentoring generates empathy and trust. Teresa Egaña, mentor and mentee, described in this beautiful meeting a feminine strength, which also impacts on men: "I believe in the ability of women to speak with another and help listen to themselves and I believe in connect and deliver as peer with men. A female and not feminist struggle".

We need teachers, fathers, mothers, aunts, sisters, friends, company executives serving as mentors, who take care of women and men that decide to improve and develop their leadership. Mentoring is based on real life experience, and that is why we can all be mentors. This will be the only way to build the Caring Economy. “We need more Care Alliances, because while I take care of you, I take care of myself,” says Viola.
Mentoring helps to highlight people's good qualities, to polish that diamond that we all are until it shines. Because sustained success is not being on the crest of the wave all the time, it's recognizing everything through that we have traveled, how we have known how to get up and loving the person we are.

“A fascinating thing is that not only teachers, mothers or fathers can be mentors, but also executives of large companies. That mentoring that starts in the family and the community, today, if a company wants to exist for more than 10 years, it has to have a leader who is a mentor, someone who pays attention to the team and what everyone needs. They need to feel respected, loved, growing. The sense of community grows so much that it makes those companies up. It is no longer about pushing people but about listening to them.” explains Laura Giadorou Koch, Founder and CEO of Women 4 Solutions.

In this month of mentoring, we have a challenge for you: Let's become mentors!. Think about someone you can guide and take care of, and at the same time, take a minute to thank those people who were your accompaniment, support and guide in life. If for a while everyone focuses on helping whoever is next to them, we will achieve a significant change.

Everything's better together,
Women 4 Solutions
