Mentorship and the Power of Connections

Guest speaker Prof. Mwenda Ntarangwi enlightened us on leading for global impact and relevance last Thursday at the Lillian Ngala Network event hosted at the Serena Hotel, Nairobi.

Climbing the career ladder today takes more than just having the right skills on your CV. What truly sets people apart is the guidance they receive and the networks they build. That’s where mentorship and meaningful connections come in.
Think of mentorship as more than advice. It’s a relationship built on trust, learning, and growth. A mentor uses their own experiences to guide you, helping you avoid mistakes and make smarter choices. At the same time, mentees bring fresh ideas and energy, making the relationship rewarding on both sides. Research even shows that people with mentors progress faster, build stronger leadership skills, and adapt better to change.
Equally powerful are the connections you make along the way. No one succeeds alone. A single introduction, a recommendation, or even a shared conversation can open doors that you might never have found otherwise. Connections don’t just create opportunities, they build a sense of community, reminding us that we’re not navigating our careers in isolation.
This is the heart of the Lillian Ngala Network (LNN). We believe mentorship and networking aren’t extras but they’re essentials. That’s why our platform matches mentees with mentors, and creates spaces where professionals can learn, connect, and grow together. From HR clinics to leadership coaching and peer-to-peer learning, LNN is designed to support every step of your journey.
Whether you’re just starting out or already leading, investing in mentorship and building the right connections is one of the best decisions you can make. When you grow with others, your success doesn’t just uplift you but it strengthens the whole community.
Join LNN today, where growth is shared, and connections create lasting impact.
