Women in Autonomy is a forum created to educate, equip and empower women building autonomous technology across all industries — from automotive and mobility to industrial, robotics, smart cities and beyond. Our mission is to embolden women to become leaders and change-makers in the industry, ensuring female voices are better heard and represented.
To do that, we need connections, and we need to learn from each other. We believe one of the most powerful ways to do that is through mentorship. The Harvard Business Review describes mentoring as “one of the highest returns on investment, as it enables one to use what has been learned and essentially ‘pay it forward,’ shaping the next generation of leaders.” Yet, Forbes recently reported that, while 76% of people think mentors are important, only 37% actually have one. We’d like to change that equation.
We're thrilled to announce that Women in Autonomy has launched a mentorship program to help women learn from women (and supportive men). We want to empower those with more experience to share their knowledge, skills and journey. And we want rising women to learn from those who’ve walked before them in order to grow their careers and network.
The first step is signing up. As a mentor, do you have experience others can learn from? Are there mistakes you want others to avoid? Great choices you think others could benefit from? Are there certain career steps you might encourage for someone who’d like to get to where you are? Would you like to help shepherd another woman's career? As a mentee, do you want to move up in your career? Are you looking for new challenges? Stuck? Want to transition into a new role?
We’d like to match you up! Take part in the program by clicking on one of the buttons below and filling out a short questionnaire. (We’d also like to gage your interest in peer-to-peer mentoring, so you’ll find a question there related to small group networking/mentoring as well). We’ll match you with someone we feel best fits with your goals and experience, and provide guidelines and best practices. The expectation is that the mentorship will last six months, with you and your counterpart meeting every-other-week to connect, set goals, and check-in on progress. However, this is your program, and the details are up to you.
