I love guiding people to help them think strategically and take action with wisdom and a sense of community.

Ever since I can remember, I have had people who’ve invested and natured my growth. I’ve also had the pleasure of empowering others and experienced the joy of seeing someone transform before your eyes for growth and progress.

I am an IT professional with more than 20 years of experience in increasing roles of responsibility and leadership. I am passionate about helping others grow. I live by the motto - we rise by lifting others! As a mentor, I provide advice and suggestions to grow in one's career and develop necessary soft skills essential for leaders. My goal is to enhance one's emotional and social skills in addition to one's intellectual capabilities.

My whole career has been underpinned by the intention and desire to support people in their personal and professional development journey. I have achieved this through teaching, coaching, training, and being a mentor. I love seeing people discover their inner strengths and building self-confidence, and if I can be a 'guide alongside' to help with their journey, that is the ultimate. Mentoring is about caring, trust-based relationships, which is at the core of who I am and what I can offer as a mentor.

As an immigrant and a non-native English speaker, I found it extremely helpful to discuss various aspects of [the] work environment and my career trajectory with teachers, colleagues and friends. I'd love to provide the same experience to young people who just started their career.

Our role as humans is to support each other through the journey of life. If we can lean on each other through challenges, decisions and life changes, the road gets easier. I’ve had people invest in my success and see what that gift brings. With mentoring others, I also gain insights for my own self-improvement journey.

My driving force is to Love, Serve, Educate. Mentoring encompasses all 3 aspects. One can guide, help, motivate, and grow from the experience.

I find it very rewarding to help people grow their career. I have been mentoring inside the companies I worked for over 15 years and externally for 4 years.

Mentoring is an opportunity to learn and grow with others. I want to be a mentor to be part of that journey where I can connect with others and co-create relationships that are mutually beneficial. It is my opportunity to share some of my knowledge and play a tiny role in helping others towards their goals and aspirations.

The opportunity to mentor an individual with a desire to learn and grow fulfills my personal goal to leverage my capabilities, talents, and insights to others. As a mentor, I will be able to impart knowledge and experience while gaining a better working knowledge of the current workforce and challenges. The mentee will be able to extract relevant and fundamental concepts, tools, and practices that will enable them to prosper in organizational life.

I've spent over 30 years building teams and companies for multi nationals, startups, and high growth firms across several sectors. I've had the pleasure of working with some brilliant managers and leaders and some not so brilliant. I love working with people who are trying to build something new. I've learned a few things I'd like to give back to the next generation coming up.

It gives me joy when I help others and get to share their wins, I also learn more about myself as I spend time with Mentees. I believe that my life tapestry is enriched by walking alongside others and sharing their perspectives, each story and connection adds so many different colours. I celebrate the diversity of life.

I am compelled to give back in the way of mentoring professionals in different stages of career development. With an immense respect for global cultures and my experience in organizational and personal change, I can guide, inspire and advise many professionals, particularly women, seeking career advancement.

Mentoring younger people has been a passion of mine for over 30 years. We must share our values, our passion about integrity, honest leadership and build sustainable good business ethics into the hearts and minds of younger executives. To do this, we need to share our lives, our pains, our mistakes and successes because mentoring is not about teaching theories but rather coaching by doing life together.

I have been fortunate to have great mentors who have helped me with my professional and personal progression. This is my way to give back. I enjoy seeing people grow in their roles and feel humbled in contributing to their success.

I failed in fifteen businesses because I never had a mentor who would have taught me how to avoid some of the potholes I passed through. I do want to get the opportunity to coach, innovate and encourage fellow youth like me to stand up like the way I did.

For the last 15 years, I [have] mentor[ed] people in different subjects, but mostly in career elevation and cross-culture adaptation (moved 6 countries, traveled 50, worked with 42+ (Europe, APAC, Middle East and Africa, Americas). This is my approach to pay tribute to mentors whom I met at the start of my career, Antony, Janet. I like to grow with mentees.

We have always depended on others to provide the right support at the right time. Nothing that we accomplish is solely from our own doing. Throughout my life there have been many kind and giving individuals who have invested time into my personal and professional development. I believe that we all have an obligation to do the same for others by sharing our talents and experiences. And, in doing so, we find the joy in giving of ourselves for the advancement of others.

As someone who is entirely happy and satisfied within their role and knows I have a career path ahead of me, I love having the opportunity to share this feeling with others and help them understand how they can achieve success from their own side. I see every day as a learning opportunity and jump at every chance I get to take new information, expand my network and connect [with] like-minded people.

I have been mentoring and coaching for over a decade and I like to do it for several reasons. 1) Mentoring helps others achieve their goals and gain skills and confidence. This is very appealing and satisfying. 2) Mentoring helps me keep my skills sharper. 3) Mentoring lets me learn about more diverse professional environments and current trends in management and hiring.

In my life, I have benefited a great deal from the experiences of others who were my mentors and friends. Along the way, I have also learned from my own successes and especially my failures. I would like to share these experiences to help others to be better prepared for challenges in their careers and to lead a more fulfilling life.

Throughout my life, I have been blessed to have sounding boards for advice. I have been fortunate to have people who care about me as a person and as an individual and are always there for me when I need them most. As I grew up in this great country that is my home now, I realize there is no better way to give back to society even if I can impart an iota of my experience to the new generation and help them get through tough hurdles in life.
