CWCC Mentorship Program

Testimonials

Jacque Terrasi

During the course of the CWCC Mentor Program I have been able to navigate my leadership and professional skills to get a promotion. I was able to leverage my network of powerful women as my mentors and use them while navigating interviewing, salary negotiations and all the things in between.

From the first day when I stepped into the Mentorship program, I was welcomed with acceptance and no judgement. My nervousness went away with each encounter, and I truly felt like I was safe and could listen and contribute without fear. The people in this program are some of the most authentic and giving people I know!

It was a great program. It taught me that there is much to learn from your community / network -- even outside of your direct field or industry. Looking forward to keeping in touch with many people that I've been able to form strong bonds with.

Lauren Gulley

It was such a pleasure participating in the 2023-2024 CWCC Mentor Program over the past six months. This program provided the opportunity to discuss difficult topics about growing as a leader in the workplace and network with so many talented and insightful leaders in the Denver community. I am so grateful for the experience and the connections made during this process.

Gwendolyn Thompson

The content covered in the monthly CWCC Mentorship meetings was relevant and incredible engaging. The mentors - as a whole and one-on-one - were present and excited to dig in on topics and shared experiences. It was a dynamic and positive opportunity for personal and professional growth! Thank you!

Karen Bigelow

This program really helped me look at myself and my leadership in a different light. I learned how to advocate for myself and others in the workplace and know my value. The mentors were wonderful about meeting me for lunch/coffee and offering me very specific advice.

Vanessa Kennedy

To be immersed in a group of such incredible people, and especially women that offered pointed advice did wonders for my confidence in negotiations within my current workplace and armed me with tools for working with my team. Being able to speak openly to the group of mentors/mentees about current conflicts I was encountering enabled me to reach resolution in a confident manner. There was a direct correlation to my ability to capitalize on those negotiations for personal growth and financial gain. Additionally, I made some lasting connections and am grateful that I was accepted into this group of powerful women.
