THE OPPORTUNITY
THE OPPORTUNITY
Remember what you didn't know when you started?
Think back to your early career. The unwritten rules no one explained. The paths you didn't know existed. The mistakes that could have been avoided with one honest conversation.
Now consider this:
74% of young professionals lack access to mentorship
41% of Black candidates won't apply where they don't see people like them
The young people who need guidance most are often the ones with no access to professionals in their network
The career advice they get online? Generic. What they need is someone who's actually been there.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Simple. Structured. Impactful.
Before: 5 minutes
Quick briefing on the format and the young people you'll meet
During: 50 minutes
10-minute conversations with 4-6 young professionals. They'll ask questions. You share your journey, mistakes, and honest advice. No preparation required — just be yourself.
After: Optional
Connect with participants on LinkedIn if you wish. Some mentors choose to continue conversations — but there's no obligation.

WHAT OTHER MENTORS SAY
I've done corporate volunteering for years, but Speed Mentoring is different. In one hour, I had real conversations with six young people who genuinely wanted to learn. It reminded me why I got into this career in the first place.
— Senior Manager, Big 4 Consulting
I remember what it was like not knowing how the system worked. Being able to share that knowledge — the stuff no one told me — felt meaningful. And honestly? I learned as much from their questions as they did from my answers.
— Director, Investment Banking
60 minutes, six conversations, and I could see the confidence shift in real time. One mentee messaged me the next day to say she'd applied for a role she previously thought was 'not for people like her.' That's why this matters.
— VP, Technology Firm
