Mentorship made easy

Designed around real lives.

High-quality match

We’ll match you with someone you can relate to and will enjoy connecting with.

Manageable commitment

Each match lasts three months to maximise learning and keep focus.

Women-focused

Discuss shared challenges and experiences that don’t get addressed at work.

Quality resources

So you feel comfortable in your role as a mentor or mentee.

Clear guidelines

So mentor and mentee both know the commitment and expectations.

Culture of care

We care about the development of women, and everything we do revolves around this.

The support you’re missing

Support and validation you may not get at work.

Women love OneUpOneDown mentorship because it provides support they’re not getting from their workplace or current networks.

  • Managing a transition, into a new role, career or country
  • Work-life balance
  • Finding purpose and direction
  • Building confidence
  • Communicating with influence
  • Managing relationships in the workplace
  • Specific professional skills, like product, marketing, finance and sales

Ongoing learning and development

Three months, focused on growth.

Our mentoring programme is designed to be highly focused and growth-centred, for rapid learning and development.

    Step 1

    Create your profile

    Create an account and select the areas you’d like support in, and the areas where you can support others as a mentor. Book a 15-minute call with our team so we can get to know you and make the best match.

    Step 2

    Three months, four meetings

    We’ll propose a suitable match based on your experience. Once you accept, you’ll be introduced and the match begins. Each match lasts three months, with a minimum of four meetings.

    Step 3

    Loved it? Get rematched

    When the three months are up, you can be rematched with another mentee or mentor. Over time you’ll build a circle of trusted mentors and mentees.

Learn the practice of mentorship

Grow from mentee to mentor.

Our guides and resources help you get the most from your match, and teach valuable skills for your professional growth.

Once you’ve been a mentee, you can become a mentor. Our guides, resources and academy teach the skill of mentoring, which carries over into leadership and improves wellbeing, confidence and self-worth.
