Professional Mentoring
Working in helping roles often requires extra time to process and reflect. Without adequate supervision, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or stuck in the day to day. To aid continued professional development, WIRED’s professional mentoring service, Be Heard, facilities this space to help guide and develop workers in their roles. Sessions take place in person or via video call and last up to an hour on a monthly basis.
