What mentees say about us
I am extremely grateful for this program. I have been a better person after every session, I looked forward to each of them and I still get to keep in touch with my mentor in my everyday life and share life with her. She is amazing and very helpful, compassionate and humorous. Definitely would want the world to have more of Ms. Yveline.
The mentorship program has been successful in helping me develop new skills, build self confidence, improved my communication skills, and also helped me develop a strong sense of self awareness. The mentorship program has also been an incredible success and I am proud to be part of it.
My experience with Linked Africa Mentorship Program has been full of lessons around self-belief and the realization of the inner greatness that could be cultivated with the aid of a mentor under this program’s personalized mentorship sessions. In one word, I have undergone complete metamorphosis via this program.
Je suis satisfaite de ce programme car mon mentor a su être à l’écoute, m’a beaucoup aider et les points sur lesquels nous avons travaillé à considérablement impacté mon style de vie.
My mentoring experience with Linked Africa could not have come at a better time. I was given an amazing mentor who I felt genuinely resonated with me in areas neither of us predicted. My mentor was professional and kind, keeping an open line of communication and always willing to listen to understand.
My mentorship experience has brought me to a realization of things I already knew but wasn’t paying so much attention to, yet they are very important. There was also a lot of relearning and restructuring of goals and actions.
My mentor makes this mentoring experience a delight. He uses real life experiences to explain each topic we treat, he gives me the opportunity to share my ideas as well.
I can now talk to people more freely. I still feel very anxious but my mentor told me to “see the value in what you are going to say and don’t let others opinion define you.”
