what mentees say

testimonials

My mentor helped me a lot and I am so grateful that I had the ability to participate in this program where I learned more about the workplace and myself.

Mentee

Ershaad Mentorship Programme
One of the most valuable lessons I learned was that effective communication starts with self-awareness. I learned to communicate more clearly, listen actively, manage my emotions before responding, and use positive self-talk to build confidence.

Ershaad Mentorship Programme
One of the most valuable parts of the programme was the mentoring conversations, where I received practical guidance on workplace behaviour, prioritisation, and handling challenges without overthinking.
