Having a mentor can drastically change the course of your career, help ease times of professional confusion, and provide a vision for the future. Women In Toys, Licensing, and Entertainment, partnered with The Mattel Foundation to launch The Ruth Handler Mentorship Program for WIT.

This virtual mentorship program is the first of it's kind for our industry. For today's episode, I sit down with the President of Women In Toys, Janice Ross, and the Executive Director, Mary Kay Russel to learn all about the offerings of this much-needed program.

Built on the Everwise platform, this program uses a combination of an algorithm and human touch to successfully pair mentors and mentees based on their experience and individual goals. This program is FREE, that's right, FREE for Women In Toys members and lasts a whole 4 months! In that time, mentees will define goals, meet their mentors, and work through weekly milestones.

If you're feeling stuck in your toy career, it may be time for a mentor! So take a listen to this episode to decide if The Ruth Handler Mentorship Program is right for you. And guess what? You can become a member of Women In Toys TODAY and sign up for this program immediately!

So what are you waiting for? Let's get started.
