Mentoring Moments: Mentors

Diana Wielgus, a mentor at Scotiabank, speaks about what she shares in common with her mentee, how mentoring made an impact on her career in the financial industry, and what she learned by connecting her mentee to professional networks.

Jasmine Tehara, a mentor at TD, reflects on how mentoring enhanced her ability to manage a diverse team, the impact of mentoring on her own career development, and how mentoring creates a rewarding opportunity to give back by helping others.

Peggy Bryne, a mentor with City of Toronto, explains that mentoring is an opportunity for many employees – not just managers – to share professional insight and knowledge about the Canadian workplace with skilled immigrants from around the world.

Gerry Skipwith explains how Compugen successfully brought mentoring into their workplace and offers advice to other companies about finding an internal champion and sharing employee success stories about The Mentoring Partnership.
