Author(s)	Vandana Kumari

Abstract	Mentorship is not just a professional tool — it’s a lifeline, especially for women working in IT project management where the road to leadership can seem like an uphill battle. Despite advances, there are still gaps in gender-based leadership roles, and sometimes it helps to have a champion by your side. This article explores the soul of mentorship — why it matters, how to find the right mentor and what it requires to be a great one ourselves. And whether you’re a woman striving to rise through the ranks of IT project management or just someone who wants to help others to, you’ll find both advice and wisdom in this column. Through addressing the criticisms and uplifting the potential of mentoring experiences, we hope to motivate and encourage women who share our dream of a more diverse and supportive IT ecosystem and community.
