Our recent “Releasing Eagles Reconnect” events in both Johannesburg and Cape Town were a huge success! It was awesome meeting up with our incredible mentees.

Lots of fun was had by all, and the positive energy was contagious. Mentees had a fantastic time connecting with mentors and peers, sharing experiences, and building lasting relationships.

We’re so proud of this community!

Mentors & Mentees: Why Hanging Out Matters

Think of mentors and mentees like a super helpful older sibling and a motivated younger one. Spending time together is key!

For Mentees (the younger sibling):

• Get Advice: Mentors share their experiences, helping you dodge mistakes and grab opportunities.
• Level Up: They give you tips to improve your skills, like acing that presentation or nailing an interview.
• Feel Confident: They cheer you on, so you feel ready to tackle anything!

For Mentors (the older sibling):

• Stay Sharp: Teaching keeps your own skills fresh.
• New Ideas: Mentees bring fresh perspectives you might not have thought of.
• Feel Good: Helping someone grow is super rewarding!

How to Make It Work:

• Regular Hangs: Meet up regularly, even if it’s just for coffee.
• Do Stuff Together: Attend events or workshops together to bond.
• Be Open: Talk honestly about your goals and challenges.

Bottom Line: Spending time with mentors and mentees is a win-win. It helps you grow, learn, and feel connected. Make time for it!
