Use Your Experience, and change a Career.
Your Experience Is Exactly What Someone Needs Right Now
You have navigated the challenges. You have learned the lessons. And now you have the opportunity to use that lived experience to genuinely change the trajectory of another woman's career.
TALO mentors are experienced professional women who want to give back; not in a vague, open-ended way, but in a structured, meaningful programme that respects your time and makes your contribution count.
You have been through a significant personal or professional transition while maintaining your career. That experience is not just valuable; for the woman you are matched with, it is irreplaceable.
No other mentor can offer what you can. Because no other mentor has lived exactly what she is living.
THIS IS NOT VOLUNEERING, THIS IS PURPOSE WITH STRUCTURE
TALO MENTORS ARE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN THERE
Our mentors come from professional services backgrounds; consulting, finance, insurance, accountancy, property, retail and corporate services. They have navigated maternity transitions, fertility treatment, baby loss, menopause, leadership progression and caring responsibilities, while continuing to build their careers.
They are not coaches or therapists: They are credible, accomplished professionals who understand both the commercial pressures and the personal weight of the moments TALO exists to support.
Lived Experience
You have personally navigated the transition your mentee is facing. That first-hand understanding is the foundation of everything TALO does.
Industry Credibility
They have personally navigated the same transition. This is not theoretical support: it is lived experience.
Real Impact
For every hour you spend mentoring, TALO makes a donation to a female-focused charity you choose from a curated list. Your time creates impact beyond the mentoring room.
