About 18 months ago, I signed up to become a Women in Banking and Finance - UK "Mentor". After overcoming the fear of “what could anybody possibly want to learn from me?”, I can honestly say it has been a hugely rewarding experience. I was fortunate enough to be paired with Elizabeth O.. Smart, brave, ambitious and doing a truly remarkable job of balancing her family and work life - against the odds! I want to thank WIBF for giving me the opportunity via its mentoring programme. To everyone considering mentorship, whether as a mentor or mentee - give it a go! Most of all, I want to thank Elizabeth, for your trust, hard work, and positivity. I will be by your side for whatever comes next.
