Introduction
Last Friday, November 18, Global Village hosted its Finding a Mentor workshop, bringing together experienced professionals and aspiring young minds in an inspiring smart-casual gathering. The event featured four mentors from four distinct industries—consulting 💼📊💡, finance 💰📈💵, HR services 🧑💼🤝📋, and international entrepreneurship 🌎🚀💼—to share their expertise and guide participants toward their career aspirations.
A Diverse Panel of Mentors
The mentors, both Japanese and non-Japanese, represented a variety of industries and backgrounds, providing participants with diverse perspectives on navigating their career paths. Their collective experience spanned consulting, finance, human resources, and entrepreneurship, offering invaluable insights tailored to a range of professional interests.
Breakout Sessions: Personalized Advice
During the breakout sessions, participants had the chance to engage directly with the mentors, asking questions and seeking advice specific to their career goals. Whether it was understanding industry trends, exploring potential career moves, or gaining practical tips on professional growth, these sessions were a unique opportunity for attendees to learn from seasoned professionals.
Networking Over Food and Beverages
The event also emphasized the importance of networking, as mentors and participants continued their conversations over a selection of food and beverages provided by Global Village. This relaxed environment allowed for more informal exchanges, fostering meaningful connections that extended beyond the structured sessions.
The Value of Mentorship
At Global Village, we understand the vital role mentorship plays in shaping one’s future. Mentors not only provide guidance and support but also inspire mentees to broaden their perspectives and seize opportunities. This workshop exemplified our mission to bridge the gap between students, young professionals, and experienced leaders from various industries.
