Be a part of the conversation and have your voice heard
About this Event
“Diversity is having a seat at the table, inclusion is having a voice, and belonging is having that voice be heard”. Liz Fosslien
Although 82% of women aged 25 to 54 now participate in Canada’s workforce, they are still underrepresented in leadership roles. We’re here to change that and help YOU develop your leadership skills, find your voice and shatter that glass ceiling.
Whether you are starting out in your career, or ready to step into a leadership position, everyone can benefit from the support of a mentor.
Join us at the Women in Communications and Technology, and Discovery Foundation’s Virtual Speed Mentoring event, and let our mentors help you take your seat at the table.

What is speed mentoring?
- A Speed Mentoring event consists of a series of short, round-table discussions facilitated by one volunteer mentor and up to three mentees.
- Form new connections with both mentors and mentees from a diverse set of backgrounds
- Explore how having a mentor could support you and your career
- Gather a range of new perspectives on a challenge you are currently facing
How will speed mentoring work online?
Similar to how it would in person. After we all meet together, you’ll be allocated to a virtual room with a mentor and up to two other mentees. You’ll have 15 minutes to ask questions and hear advice from your mentor, then you’ll have a new mentor for 15 minutes and so on.
Share your wisdom and experience by being a mentor yourself
Mentoring is a great way to share your wisdom and develop your own leadership skills. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please email BC@wct-fct.com with a short bio about yourself.
