Do you live in Calgary and want to find a hand-matched mentor? This event is for you.

Mentor Walks is a safe space for women to gain career clarity, discuss work challenges and build meaningful connections, while enjoying nature and the fresh air.

You will be matched with a mentor from a diverse mix of CEOs, executives, and trailblazers who understand the pressures faced by professional women in Calgary.

Hear what women have said so far about the walks:

👣 "I left with new connections, fresh insights, and an energised pep in my step!"
📕 ”I’m already planning to read the book set out by my mentor.”
😊 ”I found immense value in chatting with a mentor who doesn't know me within my role - a complete outside, non-bias perspective.”

Come along dressed in what you feel comfortable walking in. Women from all stages of their career are welcome.

👉 6 years in operation
👉 Over 6500 women supported as mentees
👉 Over 500 mentors volunteered to offer guidance
👉 3.5 million steps taken together
👉 11 current active locations, including international expansion to New Zealand and Singapore
👉 Innumerable moments of clarity and countless connections formed

Being routinely interrupted by men is an example of everyday sexism that many women are all too familiar with.

Research on the phenomenon goes back as early as 1975, when a US study observed 31 mixed-sex conversations and found that men were responsible for 47 of the 48 interuptions that took place. More recently, a 2017 report showed that male Supreme Court judges interrupt female judges 3 times as often as they do other male judges.

Keen to learn how to personally respond when it happens to you, or how to become an ally for women in the workplace? Melbourne Mentor and Leadership Expert Amanda Gome has some advice in our recent Conversation Series ‘Dealing with everyday sexism’ which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saipmNZm1EY&t=3s
