Mentors and Mentees decide together what schedule works best. Meetings can be online (like Zoom), by phone or in person. We recommend agreeing on location and timing early on, and aim to meet for 30–60 minutes every couple of weeks to stay engaged.

There are many useful resources hosted on the Mentor City platform: Orientation Session Mentor/Mentee User GuidesMentor/Mentee Tips & Tricks Mentorship and Relationship Guides and Checklists If you need additional support, feel free to reach us at mentoring@womenleadersinpharma.com

Typical engagement in the program ranges from 6 to 12 months; however, a shorter commitment of four months is also available based on your preferences. The value you gain from participating will reflect the effort and commitment you invest. You can choose to extend the relationship offline as it suits your needs.

Please reach out to the Mentorship Committee at mentoring@womenleadersinpharma.com. If you are already registered, login to MentorCity and use our community chat function.

The WLP Mentorship Program hosts a variety of events to support mentors and mentees. These include: Virtual orientations, Speed connect sessions, Lunchtime mentor webinars, In-person mentor meetups. Events are designed to offer training, networking, and resources that enrich the mentoring experience.

You can register as a Mentee, a Mentor, or take on both roles simultaneously. Your choice will depend on your current goals and how you'd like to contribute or grow within the program.

Mentees search through Mentor profiles and choose those whose experience and journey align with their goals. Mentors can also browse Mentee profiles. Introductory Conversation: Mentees contact selected Mentors for a first chat to check compatibility on goals, timing, and availability. Invitation & Final Match: After finding the right fit, Mentees send a formal invitation. If the Mentor accepts, the relationship is confirmed on the Mentor City platform

For Mentors: Mentoring is most impactful when it's sustainable. Our program supports up to 5 mentees—choose a number that lets you give meaningful support without overextending. You can adjust this anytime in your Mentor City profile to ensure a healthy balance. For Mentees: To help you get the most from your mentoring experience, we recommend focusing on one WLP mentor at a time. Strong relationships need time, trust, and space to grow; and keeping it to one mentor ensures each connection gets the attention it deserves.
