GlobalWelsh Academy MyMentor
Global Mentoring Programme
“We all need people who can support us to grow and develop both personally and professionally, and mentorship is one of the best ways to do this. Having the Welsh connection made the programme feel important beyond the goals of the mentorship itself.”
Rosie Evans, behavioural scientist, based in Berlin
We know that thousands of Welsh diaspora have gone on to lead incredible careers and businesses and to achieve amazing things. They have gained different perspectives, new experiences and alternative approaches to problem solving.
Likewise, Wales is home to outstanding business leaders who can offer knowledge and real-world experience of what it takes to have a successful career and run a business back in Wales and the UK.
Through the MyMentor global mentoring programme we are enabling members to share that huge wealth of knowledge and experience with others in the community - one-to-one. To inspire and support the next generation of ambitious Welsh entrepreneurs and business leaders to grow, excel and achieve.
Through the MyMentor matching module on GlobalWelsh Connect, Mentors can apply and enrol as Mentors and Mentees can search and find a Mentor based on their career and business ambitions, all supported by GlobalWelsh.
The programme was developed in 2020 by experienced HR professionals and GlobalWelsh members, Sara Harper-Holton, Global Head of Talent and Development at Reckitt Benckiser, and Catrin Asbrey, Group HR Director at Keolis UK.
What's unique about MyMentor?
MyMentor is the first digital global diaspora mentoring programme in the world. It's member-led meaning Mentors and Mentees have control and flexibility over when, why and who they match with. Industry agnostic and diverse, Mentors and Mentees can be from any industry and located anywhere in the world. The Welsh connection brings with it a shared affinity and mutual ambition for Wales and Welsh people to excel. All of our approved Mentors are voluntary and participation is based on goodwill.
“That DNA is so important and I would urge all GlobalWelsh members, or those considering joining, to just get on and do it. If Wales is to knock the ball out the park on the global playing field we all need to reach far and wide and we have some great people ready and willing to support that.”
Adrian Sutton, ambitious CEO of a tech company, based in Swansea
