Uplifting Talent In The Outdoor Industry
Finding and connecting mentors and mentees all around the globe...
Starting Line
We’ve been big fans of Uplift, and its founder, Rachael Burnside - and we’re excited to share our conversation with her on this week’s podcast. In this episode, she talks about the blueprint that any industry could follow to build this up - not just cycling.
Uplifting Talent In The Outdoor Industry
Rachael Burnside saw an opportunity to build a stronger community of women in the bike industry by connecting experienced mentors with mentees, which would help build and retain top talent. The fifth round of the Uplift mentorship program is now underway, and in our conversation, Rachael breaks down the playbook of what it took to build this program - and how any other industry can adapt and benefit from making these connections.
