What are Mentoring Circles?

The Rising Network Mentoring Circles offer a supportive peer to peer learning environment lead by mentors in each circle. Each mentoring circle will have a set theme so that mentees can come armed with questions to seek advice from both mentors and peers to collectively explore and discuss the issue – while being mentored and guided by someone who has knowledge and experience in personally overcoming that problem: the mentor.

How they work?

Each Mentor will be in their own virtual mentoring circle and we will have parallel mentoring circles running at the same time. You are free to join any circle simply by joining the virtual room your chosen mentor is in. At the start of the session, in each circle, our Mentors will give a short talk which will then be followed by informal discussions and group mentoring.
