Sep 17    An Introduction to Fresh Ideas: A Mentoring Program for Wheaton Chamber Members
Please join us for
An Introduction to “Fresh Ideas: A Mentoring Program for Wheaton Chamber Members”
via Zoom at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, September 17, 2021


We're signing members up for our Fall 2021 class which begins in late September. But first, we're offering this introduction. Come learn what the program is all about before making a commitment.

Here's what our mentees are saying about the program:
 
"You feel like you have an ally, that you're not alone."
 
"This gives me someone to turn to who has objectivity, someone committed to that time together to discuss what's important to me and my business."
 
"This gives me a different set of eyes on my business. She encouraged me to explore partnerships, and that's working..."
 
"[The value is in] the connection, someone else to call. I've had some big projects this year and my mentor is helping me learn how to say, 'No.'"
 
And here are a few insights from our mentors:
 
"I'm grateful to have this as an opportunity to stay connected."
 
"Love that the program is structured--that's invaluable!"
 
"When my mentor needed things I couldn't help with, I brought in someone who could..."
 
Learn more about the details of the program before making a commitment. If you're ready to apply...
