Mentor Onboarding
Welcome to Women in Sustainable Luxury. We are excited to work with you to develop the next generation of sustainable luxury leaders.
Checklist
I. Mentor Details:
Bio
Headshot
Areas of expertise
by 29th October, ready for announcing the mentors individually and the opening date for applications between 3rd and 14th November (example post)
II. Select a week for your sessions and update:
Session Title
Description
How mentees will benefit from the session
Session times
Required by 7th November so I can create assets and be ready to share the posts between 17th and 28th November (example post)
The date might feel early, but it helps mentees plan their schedules at the time of application.
It helps if you permit recording of the session so mentees who can’t attend can watch a replay.
Recorded sessions are kept for a few days, and evidence of deletion is shared with you afterwards.
How to engage with the posts
I’ve found that the posts we share from our page get better engagement when mentors react (like etc), comment and direct repost.
Please do not repost with your thoughts- lose the ability to track if people are seeing the messages and how to modify the messages for better results.
Prepping a Mentoring Session
Prep a masterclass/workshop based on one area of your expertise
You can use the question bank and profile challenges as inspiration
(Question Bank will be available after Mentees apply)
Suggested structure of session:
(optional if you have something else that works in mind)
I. Session Overview: Masterclass/Workshop

Participants will…
Participants will…
Participants will…
Session Pillar (choose one or more):

Session Plan (45–60 minutes)
I. Introduction (5–10 min)
☐ Personal story + why this theme matters
II. Core Content (25–30 min)
☐ Key insights, tools, or frameworks
☐ Case examples

☐ Individual reflection / breakout activity / guided scenario
IV. Wrap-Up (5 min)

☐ Request feedback to be submitted- prerequisite for Q&A session and opportunity to submit new questions
II. Session Overview: Q&A
Use the question bank to decide which questions you will address in the hour
create themes
you do not need to answer questions that are not your expertise
leave time for emerging questions
ongoing mentoring through Women in Sustainable Luxury is out of scope
You will receive a calendar invitation with your allocated slots and video call joining details at a later date
