Our mission
To coach the next generation of marketing professionals in Dallas-Fort Worth by providing an environment defined by a growth mindset, inclusion, and compassion.
What does it mean to be a protégé
A protégé is a marketing professional who has identified an area of growth they’d like to address related to their career or leadership skills. For example, as a protégé you may feel like you’re not getting enough coaching or support in the workplace, or you crave new learning opportunities, so you may be looking for a mentor to help you grow. If this describes you, you’re in the right place!
Areas of support you may be looking for from a mentor include:
- Communication / presentation skills
- How to achieve a promotion
- How to find a new job
- Navigating relationships across departments
- Technical marketing skills
- Industry-specific knowledge
- Developing and executing a marketing strategy
- Leading a team
- How to craft your resume
- And much, much more
