Dear $$First Name$$:

Whether you are a mentor, mentee, or in our peer-to-peer program, your participation in Women in Stone’s Mentorship Program is very much appreciated. Our mission is to recruit, retain, and advance women in the natural stone industry and this program is one of the best ways we have to nurture our future leaders.

By now, you should all have received an email letting you know who you have been matched with. If you haven’t already been in contact, please reach out to your pair to schedule your first appointment.

Below you will find some things to help you get started. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at sarah@naturalstoneinstitute.org or 440-250-9222.

Best Regards,

Sarah B Gregg
Women in Stone Administrator
Natural Stone Institute

Your First Meeting

We strongly recommend meeting via video chat (Skype and Facetime work well). If these are not possible, meet via phone.  Plan to spend one hour per month. If you fall behind at any point throughout the next six months, you can use September and October to catch up.  

Month One Guidance

Get to know your mentor/mentee/peer on a professional and personal level. Read through this worksheet ahead of time to prepare for your conversation. You can also refer to this during your meeting.

Next Month

In April you will be discussing your career paths and setting some goals to achieve by the end of this mentorship program. Most of our mentees and peer participants have filled out the Career Development Goals sheet with their managers. This form will be helpful this month. Now that you know more about your pair’s experience and expertise, make some adjustments and be as specific as possible in crafting your goals.
