Happy Thursday!

After a Brief Silence, We're Cranking Up the Volume Again!

Happy weekend! 

This week’s episode takes a little detour and highlights on something close to us at BoW: The Bold with BoW mentorship program. Over the past years, we have observed a remarkable growth in our mentees’ ability to confidently navigate the complexities of the finance industry and with this maturation, some of them received the opportunity to fast-track into our subcommittee.

In today’s one, we speak to 3 of such individuals who made the most of their time as a mentee of Bold with BoW and successfully proceeded to secure a spot in our subcommittee and now are active members of our BoW family. 

They open up about their genuine experience being a part of the program, the learnings gained from their mentor, the evolvement they noticed within themselves as they went along the program and how all of the above made a difference in the way they planned ahead in their career. 

Let’s give it up for them and give it a watch to see why it’s worth it! 

Good morning and happy Monday!

Hi everyone, hope everyone’s off to a great start to the semester!

Welcome back to BoWTalks for semester 2, 2023!

Aside from working as an Investment Banking Analyst, she is also the co-founder a community and podcast called Greenfluence focused on providing young professionals with educational content on topical issues such as ESG and responsible investing.

With a passion towards design and technology at an early stage in her school career, Maya also discovered that she was proficient at Economics as well. Having decided to pursue the field of law at the University level, Maya unlatched multiple avenues for herself, and she really put herself out there and explored her options. She was always chasing her dream of becoming and entrepreneur and all she worked for is to witness the fruition of her end goal.

Tune in to our very first pod for the semester where Maya takes you on a journey of self-discovery and shares her insights on how to detour from the conventional route and explore multiple avenues and go where your heart takes you to! Her quest to unearth where her real passion lies lead her to try out things that were completely different to each other and sets an example to us to go out there and whatever it is that you desire.

Good Morning and Happy Friday!
