Real stories from the MiF community
Munkhzul Milkhaabaatar
Researcher
"Through my Mentor's encouragement, I delved into uncovering and understanding my strengths, values and aspirations - a process that gave me invaluable clarity on my career journey's direction."
🧭 Strengths and direction clarified
Jaywen Llagas
Project Manager
"My mentorship with Mr. Shai has been one of the most transformative experiences in my life. From the start, Mr. Shai guided me in discovering my professional aspirations and, even more importantly, helped me grow into a better version of myself. His career insights and life advice have shaped my journey in ways I carry with me every day. Now that the mentorship has formally concluded, I’m grateful it didn’t end there—we’ve formed a lasting bond that feels like family. I am incredibly thankful for the guidance and the sense of kinship. This experience has helped me understand my strengths and given me a true sense of belonging."
🔗 Lasting connection and belonging
Donna Plunkett
Partnership Manager
"I feel that strong rapport and trust was pivotal to the success of my mentoring experience. My mentor created space to go as deep, or not, on issues that were blocking or interfering with me achieving my professional goals. This really helped me in developing more self-awareness and confidence."
