Her World Mentorship Programme 2024: An inspiring mid-point event

An evening of inspiration, wisdom, and empowerment unfolded at the mid-point event of the Her World Mentorship Programme 2024 earlier this week.

The mentors and mentees gathered at The Great Room, our experiential venue partner, for the mentorship check in. The event was supported by our official beauty partner, Clé de Peau Beauté.

The evening began with a keynote speech by Susan Peh, Chief Executive of Adsan Law, who captivated the audience with her insights on leadership. Drawing from her own experiences starting out in a work environment where leaders often lacked empathy and were solely focused on results and perfection, Susan underscored the importance of resilience in the face of adversity. She shared key tips for those stepping into leadership roles, emphasising the importance of building trust and confidence within teams. 

The night continued with an enriching panel discussion by Elizabeth Lee, Editor-in-Chief at Her World; Carolyn Chin-Parry, Digital Innovation Leader for PwC; and Michelle Khoo. The theme of the panel was “What is the definition of success?”, and was moderated by one of our very own mentees, Sindhu Achadan. Each mentor shared their unique stories of failure and success, offering personal insights and wisdom. The attendees in the room also had the chance to ask their own questions, gaining valuable advice on transitioning into managerial roles and discovering what success means for them.  

The panellists wrapped up by sharing some valuable advice:

Afterwards, the mentors and mentees got the opportunity to mingle with each other — leaving them with a renewed sense of purpose and drive, ready to take on the next chapter of their careers and lives.
