Aimee
Aimee and I didn't know each other.
Aimee became my mentee through a 9-month-long leadership development program at UC Berkeley School of Information
When we first met, we were not sure how well we might work together in a mentor-mentee relationship.
But we both were determined to give the best effort.
I explained to Aimee the difference between a coach and a mentor.
I asked her to choose whether she wanted me to play a coach role or a mentor role.
She chose the coach option.
Aimee is a motivated Data Analyst who has dreams and aspirations.
Aimee is brave to share her stories with me.
Through our work, Aimee realized that she is talented, capable, strategic, and loved.
With her permission, I am sharing what she said about our time together.
“My mentor Hope was so amazing...l was a bit worried when we were matched together as I felt as if we might not have much in common, but the struggles that she faced in her career were not only comparable to mine but I believe would also inspire anyone, regardless of their race, gender identity or background. Her coaching services are invaluable and therapeutic, as she was able to identify some of the roots of my difficulties that were holding me back, and gave me actionable insights on how to address them. I am so incredibly glad to have been matched with her and would recommend her to absolutely anyone and everyone!”
Dear Aimee Williams, you have everything you need to be successful at work, and in life.
