From the Maiden Cohort
What Mentees Told Us
Honest feedback and lessons pulled straight from the Builders' Path — Ramadan Edition report.
Mentees told us they wanted the sessions to be prolonged — they were getting real value and didn't want it to end.
A structured communication plan with reminders kept engagement levels high across every mentor–mentee pair.
Shorter, focused programs — four weeks — worked well for busy professionals on both sides of the table.
