• This week, #GEMgirls will learn how to network and practice their interviewing skills with our mentors. Networking is so important for women. It gives us the opportunity to move beyond small talk to engage in meaningful conversations and create impactful connections. But networking doesn’t necessarily mean talking about career stuff — it can mean sharing your passion for baking, soccer, Schitt’s Creek, or dogs. The secret ingredient is your authenticity. Be genuine, true to yourself, and open to creating a bond with someone new and you’ll be a confident networker in no time. ⠀ ⠀ Thanks to our dedicated Mentor Network volunteers for arranging this great opportunity for GEMgirls!

  • We are not each other’s competition; we are each other’s inspiration. If you can see it possible for her, it can be possible for you. - @stephaniechinnart⠀ ⠀ One of the many reasons that mentorship is so important is that we're here to inspire each other! In a world where women have so often been pitted against each other, it's important to remember that we're here to support each other's growth. When one of us grows, we all grow. #MentorshipMatters #WereInThisTogether⠀ ⠀ Beautiful art and words by @stephaniechinnart

  • Last month, we hosted our fourth #GEMinar in partnership with @HPcanada, another corporation with a strong woman leader at the helm, CEO Mary Ann Yule. #GEMGirls took part in a workshop called “Getting Your Goals” and learned how to expand their growth mindset. ⠀ ⠀ Having a growth mindset means you believe you can always improve, catch up, and achieve your goals through dedication and hard work. Not everybody is born and raised with a growth mindset. For some of us, it takes intention to believe “I can,” and that’s OK. Want to work on your growth mindset? Find value in the journey and not the outcome. That’s how you’ll tackle problems, chart new courses, and work on important issues. You can do it!
