”My mentor provided actionable feedback as part of each session, which allowed me to intentionally try a lot of different strategies, see what worked well and what didn't, and reflect in the next session. By doing this, it also made me reflect not only on myself, but also those around me. I gained insights into perception, perspectives, and prioritization.”

FAQs

After participants complete the first two months of assessments, reflections, goal setting and coaching, we have a very rich data set and insights to inform mentor selection. We leverage over 70 data points, plus insight from coaches to hand-select the perfect mentor (combining data, technology and our highly experienced mentoring team). We take into account multiple dimensions - industry, function, career goals and challenges, personal situation and goals, aspects of identity or lived experience where identified as important, personality, time zone, and other demographics, such as age. We then deliver a careful match where we help launch a successful relationship by helping them find human connection before they event meet.
We check in after every first mentoring session, to confirm matching effectiveness, and re-match whenever the match is not perceived to be effective (which happens less than 5% of time).

2) 360 Feedback - Ceresa’s proprietary 360 tool asks participants to select up to 18 people to provide feedback. This assessment is so good it needs it’s own page. Learn more about the 360 Assessment
3) Wild & Precious Life (vision statement) - A critical focus area for Ceresa, is helping participants get a clearer vision, boost their aspirations, and check in with their purpose.
