Mentor Watch: Ten Key Takeaways from être’s Q3 2024

When Q3 hits I feel a burst of energy.

Maybe it's the excitement I see as être girls head back to school and new companies invite us into their boardrooms.

Maybe it's the beckoning of new books, BFFs and events that threaten to blow my mind. Or maybe it's the delight we all take in seeing dreams realized and new goalposts set.

Whatever the reason, with this Mentor Watch I’m thrilled to share être’s top 10 mentor moments of Q3 – paired with our grateful thanks to every leader we met and every company we visited. Thank you for not only saving us seats, but rolling in fleets of extra chairs to fill the table.

Early confidence matters. Mentors across all industries showed us how much in Q3.

Excited for what Q4 holds?

You bet.

Proud of the girls in être's ecosystem for their confidence? Unquestionably. Each one Is a breath of fresh ambition.

We can't wait to see what year-end holds...and how we'll all celebrate it together.

Looking forward,

Illana
