Mentoring

“Hanim is one of the most inspirational women I came across in the Fashion industry. She has so much experience in different fields within the business. I see her as a real authority in the global fashion world. The reason I joined the Women in Fashion Business Club is because it provides me to network with like-minded women professionals. Also, WIF fills a gap that didn’t exist before in the fashion retail field.”

“Since I started her mentoring programme, Hanim has equipped me with the knowledge and tools that have allowed me to take my business to a higher level. I am currently mentoring my own employees and other colleagues I have met in the construction industry because of the excellent work that Hanim has done. I would say that the overall experience has had a transformative effect on my journey as an entrepreneur.”

“I started the journey of Mentorship on August to November; in this journey I have learned the Do ‘s and the Don’t s of a good mentor. It enhanced my confidence and helped me to unleash my potential. I learned how to be a critical thinker as a leader and entrepreneur.”

“However successful a woman is, she can always be inspired by talking to, and learning from other successful women. Women in Fashion’s network and forums encourage successful women to share ideas, tips for success, and their experiences in overcoming challenges at work. I have found their Business Club an investment with a great return on investment.”

“Tanya was recommended by a friend who had worked for her. She became my trusted advisor, my cheerleader, and my friend. She helped me to write a proper business plan, develop a marketing plan and a realistic financial plan. But she was a crucial support and a great sounding board in the early days of my business.”

“I am delighted to be part of the WIF group. I am anticipating some well-informed market insight and some deep current industry discussion. I want to share with my fellow members my opinion on recovery and the new normals that we are all embracing around the world.”

“Tanya helped me to create mentoring goals around my career plan, helped develop my leadership skills and gave me confidence to take on an international career. Since then, she has also supported me with interview preparation and critical decisions around my career. She has been a truly inspirational role model and a great champion, and without her I don’t believe I would have had the amazing career that I have had.”

“I am just starting my own business in the Fashion Industry and the opportunity to connect and learn from other women entrepreneurs has been invaluable.”

“I have found it so difficult to find information and practical support on Women’s leadership issues. There are so many organisations and communities for working mothers, but many of them are simply pushing for policy change or advertising products. What I like about Women in Fashion is that they are a one stop shop. They are very happy to provide links to information and services on other sites if it is useful and relevant. And I have found their own content useful and inspirational.”

“I found Hanim very much informed and so patient with all of us in the program. She will go all out to assist us in our individual personal development. I am now an established and transformed businesswoman through her intervention and able to mentor other women.
Her dedication paved her way to be nominated in the 2022 woman of stature finalist awards. I therefore recommend Hanim Jain to any other higher platform of women mentoring program.”

“Tanya mentored me through a very challenging time in my career when I had been made redundant by my company. She helped me rebuild my confidence and worked with me to make the right career choices and then guided me through the application and interview process. I will be eternally grateful for her help in securing a fantastic new role as Head of Buying. Tanya is approachable, down to earth, results orientated and challenging in a good way.”

“When I took on my first Board role as a Director, I felt I needed the support and guidance of a good mentor to help me navigate the new role and new company and ensure a successful outcome. Tanya was recommended to me, and I absolutely loved working with her. She had an incredible wealth of knowledge and advice to share. I am convinced that I would not have been as successful as I have been without Tanya’s support.”

“As a working Mum, I recognise the importance of having wonderful women as examples, mentors, sounding boards and friends. I have been able to reconnect with ex colleagues and meet new women facing similar challenges to balancing life and work. This amazing support group has helped me through some rough times.”

“I joined Women in Fashion when I was searching for a Women’s organization that was made up of women committed to helping each other succeed. I love what Hanim and the team are doing to support women in the Fashion Industry. The content is relevant, interesting, and inspirational.”

“I was mentored by Tanya when she was a Managing Director for Esprit Asia. She helped me put together a career plan to achieve my goals and encouraged me to stretch myself and apply for roles that I would never have dreamed of applying for. With her help, guidance, and support, I moved from a functional merchandising role into a Retail General Management role, and from there to S.V.P for China. An amazing leader and a warm and empathetic person, Tanya was a truly inspirational role model for me.”
