It’s comforting to hear that my colleagues and other industries are facing the same types of challenges that I am and it’s great to be able to troubleshoot some of these issues together as a team. I’ve also really enjoyed the accountability aspect of it as well and being able to really get to know each of the women in my group deeper and see familiar faces each month. It can be lonely being a CEO, with the unique challenges that we face, so it’s nice to have a support group to be a part of where we can build each other up."

The program had a thoughtful intake process to ensure that mentees and mentors were well-matched. My mentor, Angela Frederickson, is a priceless resource and support. She openly shares her unique perspective and years of experience, whether we are discussing technical topics or professional growth.  Angela provides encouragement, while challenging me to adapt my mindset to my evolving roles and responsibilities. I walk away from every discussion feeling refreshed, energized, and empowered. I appreciate her approach, which emphasizes utilizing existing strengths when problem solving. This approach is consistent with the mentorship program’s philosophy and the tools shared with participants, including training opportunities. Whether you are seeking professional support or have wisdom to share (or both), I highly recommend participation in this program.” Heidi Glasser, Medicines360, Nicolle Cannon, Amanda French, Kristin (Iadarola) Havranek, Roma Pérez, Annie Brantigan, Catherine L., Lisa Carmel, Kate J.

The process was seamless. A simple application form with immediate follow up on next steps. I was matched with four potential stellar mentors and was able to meet virtually to see which one could be a match. I have to say, any of these women would have been an asset to have as a mentor. All four were very different with interesting and impressive backgrounds, but I chose my mentor, Shanthi Ramakrishnan, based on our similar career pathways and common experiences at similar companies. This year we’ve met every other month for an hour or so and were able to meet in person when I was on a business trip. To be honest, it’s been a lifesaver. I don’t think I realized how much I needed an outside perspective, especially a female one with extensive executive experience. Through our relationship I have gained more confidence in dealing with the Board and with my CEO. We’ve talked extensively about career positioning, outside resources to seek, and relationships to build. She’s also just been such a friend and amazing listener as I’ve shared many ups and downs with her over the year. As I reflect on 2024, this mentorship opportunity is one of my brightest highlights and has propelled me into new ways of thinking and has helped me explore opportunities that were previously not on my horizon. I cannot say enough good things about my mentor, and am so grateful to MedtechWOMEN for this program and making the connection. Thank you!"

"Serving as a volunteer mentor always prompts a self-reflective question of "do I want to make a commitment again?" Quick answers surface: reciprocal generosity of mentors and mentees who share and alter perspectives, challenge assumptions and offer a sanctuary to hold difficult conversations, expand mindsets and unlock opportunities, reassure and cheer each other up, have fun, and profoundly impact life journeys, including career orchestration.    Yet, underneath, there is an unabashed joy, pride and reward of seeing a mentee succeed, overcome challenges with grace and determination, and address self-doubts. Observing a mental shift or a spark being lit, building personal connections and long-lasting relationships arouse confidence in the next set of women leaders. Most importantly, mentoring deepens my resolve to sustain this symbiotic cycle and help advance MedtechWOMEN's vision.   I had the privilege of getting to know Sara Bender through the mentoring program. Her keen intellect, intuition, infectious energy, warmth and indomitable spirit of owning her career and life is inspirational.    Sara's clarity about her broader leadership aspirations and focused objectives made our time together productive with several cherished moments and beneficial insights. There is no doubt that she will succeed in actualizing her dreams and those of others. I look forward to seeing and hearing more about Sara's accomplishments and the positive impact she will make.   Special kudos and thanks to the MedtechWOMEN for your sustained commitment to delivering mentoring programs. The question of "do I want to commit to mentoring?" should no longer arise for anyone."
