Pod, or group mentorship, creates a dynamic environment where diverse individuals learn from each other, fostering a deeper understanding of personal and professional complexities. Halima, a mentor in the program and co-lead of Pfizer Canada’s women resource group (PWR Canada), highlights "when you bring together a group of individuals, each with their unique experiences and perspectives, the potential for growth and learning is exponential. The collective vulnerability and openness that emerges within the group creates a safe space for profound self-discovery."

Group mentorship amplifies personal growth through collective vulnerability, trust, and camaraderie. Nadia, a mentee, reflects on her inspiring experience, noting, "The opportunity to connect and exchange with a diverse group of individuals, all striving to grow, has been truly inspiring. The shared openness and honesty within the group have enabled me to explore my personal and professional development more deeply, leading to greater self-awareness and confidence."
