SMALL GROUP MENTORING SESSIONS

Let’s Talk Careers, Professional Development, and Confidence

Whether you’re navigating your first job, considering an MBA deferred or full-time, or simply need a sounding board as you chart your career, these small group mentoring sessions are designed to support you on your journey to clarity.

Hosted by Allison, each conversation is grounded in reflection, support, and shared growth. You’ll have space to ask top-of-mind questions, hear what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and connect with peers navigating similar crossroads.

This is for you if:

You’re feeling a little stuck or unsure about your next step and want perspective from someone who’s been there.

You’ve been doing your best to figure things out on your own and would value a safe space to ask questions.

You know you’re capable, but you’d feel more confident having a bit of guidance and a reminder that you have a community to support you.
