At Tomorrow’s Women TODAY, we recognize the transformative influence of mentoring on career growth.

Our steadfast commitment to empowering women has inspired us to curate carefully designed mentoring programs that provide our members with a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders and foster an unparalleled experience conducive to both personal and professional growth.

Our mission is to facilitate and nurture meaningful connections for women along the leadership continuum. We envision a world where aspiring young women have both visibility and access to accomplished women leaders, establishing a platform for these leaders to ‘Pay It Forward’, creating a ripple effect of empowerment.

Our Mentoring Model: The Pay It Forward Pipeline Program

The Tomorrow’s Women TODAY mentoring model stands apart from typical mentoring programs with eight distinct features.

Cross-Sector Mentoring

We connect women leaders across diverse industries, providing a broader perspective and fostering innovative problem-solving.

Cohort Networking

Participants not only gain a highly accomplished mentor but also build valuable connections with fellow mentees and the cohort of participating mentors, expanding their professional networks in transformative and lasting ways.

Holistic Leadership Development

Our Conversations that Matter workshops provide opportunities outside of monthly 1:1 meetings for mentees to develop critical leadership skills and gain actionable insights from experts.

Outcome-Oriented Application

The application process encourages mentees to reflect on their goals and the desired outcomes of their mentorship, culminating in a personalized “Legacy Project” that aligns with their aspirations.

Structured Interactions

A clear schedule of interactions between mentors and mentees is established, providing consistency and maximizing the benefits of the partnership.

Financial Accessibility

Unlike many mentoring programs, our model is financially accessible to mentees, with only a small application fee and no additional cost, making it inclusive for women at various stages of their leadership journey.

Clear Expectations Framework

We provide both mentors and mentees with a guided preparation and reflection framework that outlines expectations, ensuring clarity and a productive mentoring relationship.

Continuous Feedback

We prioritize growth by actively seeking feedback from both mentors and mentees through surveys conducted throughout the program to ensure meaningful engagement.

“I have had mentors in the past, and became a PIFP mentor to give back. What I did not realize was how much I would gain from the experience as well.”

Nancy LesserMentor
“

“The match was incredible.. I was delighted about the science connection, not to mention the parallels of working mother, Board member, and traveler. We connected just 15 minutes into our first meeting.”

“My mentor helped me present as my very best self. The PIFP gives you unbiased, 20/20 hindsight, without having to go through the hard experience yourself.”
